how about box specs?
i love all the space you have back there.
im about to put 2 dc lvl4 xl 15s in my truck. i was told by dc to put them in 7cubes together...i have a few other ppl tell me 10 cubes will increase my overall output up 2 db and have more impact in the lows...

make the box 49 wide..the width of the MDF..it fits perfectly between the fenders in back so it wont move around..

the box is 49x19x19. the port is 17.5 tall x 5 wide x 21 deep. 8 cubes, 32 hz

i used this calculator

I wouldnt run 10 cubes unless your subs are 5 cubes min..thats a lot of space..my old box was 12 cubes and it sounded like shit compared to this one..

yeah but wasnt your old box sealed?

do a 10 cube fourth order... 3 cubes sealed and 7 cubes ported. tuned to like 47hz...it will jam.
