I think you should have ordered a 10 " enclosure (updated version) from MConsoliA4. That square box looks weird just sitting there. I think the Tweeter stores in CT do a better job installing than the ones in FL. I still wouldn't let them touch my car.
As long as it is installed correctly and you are happy with the cosmetics and performance, that is all that is important.

Yeah - I saw those but I don't want it permanently mounted and with it movable I can use the trunk more, as I do.

I'll probably get a grille for it too so something doesn't smack it in the trunk. My trunk gets heavily used - between softball and the family!

I keep the box right next to the amps - just wanted to move it to show the amps.

Strategically placing velcro on the MconsoliA4 enclosure would stop it from moving around the trunk. Honestly, it fits so snug in the corner, it probably wouldn't even move without the velcro unless you pulled a Schumacher around a few corners. I chose to bolt it down as it should be. Those that are ingeneous may find a way to secure it in a way so it is easily removable. But its all good though. Have fun with the new tunes. Glad you like it.

I was gonna mention the velcro. After you get the carpet glued in.



The CD player looks good in there. Enjoy!

Good suggestion on the velcro - the box moved around a bit during spirited driving this morning. Ordered the grille for it yesterday. I need to make sure I don't put anything in the trunk until I get it tied down and the grille on.

Got some 3M spray adhesive today from Home Depot - glued the carpet to the MDF and now everything is nice and stable. Stereo shop gave me some good velcro that I'm going to drop on the bottom of the box too. I'm happy now - speaker grille comes in next week too.
