      Haven't decided yet. Might be on the front (visable) side of the box, or up into the rear deck/interior.

        Jordan I have a question about your false wall, because I'm wanting to do the same thing for my subwoofer setup (I hate seeing my box).

        Anyways, how will you secure the false wall to keep it from moving while driving?

        And what kind of material (wood?) will you use behind the carpet of the false wall?

        TIA,
        Spencer

          Velcro stapled to the box and to the false wall.

          Hardboard.

              hmm couldn't u put the exit port point toward the armrest hole?

              would that improve sound?

                I have a M3 rear seat. 6 inches of dense foam cover that hole.

                  Jordan, I had my old amp mounted in that same recess in the carpet. It was a cool spot, but my new amp was too big to fit there.

                    The PS of it in your car looks sweet. Are you going to cover the sub amp with the carpeting, or leave it exposed as in your original rendering? Also, are you going to leave any sort of provisions for a midrange amplifier? It may be cool to have an amp on each side of the sub.

                          Wo-man. I really dig it. Looks like it's space efficient too :)

                            Jordan,

                            Not sure if you posted this already, but what are the dimensions for the false wall?
