1:There was a lot of glue an resin left on the ring, which caused it not to seal properly.
2: When looking from the inside of the box, I noticed a lot of light shining through in the corners.
3: This box slides... Bad.... I'm still trying to find a way to keep it still. I've got non stick slider pads on the bottom, and they're not helping. I'm running out of ideas.
4: No pre fitted/drilled holes for speaker wire to run though
5: Took 3 weeks to get (He builds them on order, specific for each sub.)

If you want I'll take some pictures of it today. Finally got my new camera. If I had to do it again, I'd probably make the sacrafice and get a toolwell box, and find somewhere else to mount my amp. I'm still considering that option, but once I pay the car off.
Thanks for the feedback. I was worried about how well it sealed and the fact that there are no specs. It's like these things are being built by someone who might know a lot about how to work with fibreglass but not much about car audio. Then again, the excess glue, lack of wiring options, and lack of securing method sounds pretty sloppy to me too.

Damn, these boxes are so cheap...

So are there any good options other than JL Stealthbox and Darkside?

Darkside is most excellent! I have had mine (VII) for about 4 months. It is perfect!
