Quick update: Decided to do a bit of bracing on the inner port wall
It's my first time working with fiberglass mat, so I'd be open to feedback on it. The only stuff I have done prior is self-leveling 45s
This stuff is awesome. It's called Knytex Tape. It's woven on one side, random on the other. It's thick as sh*t and even sunlight doesn't shine through.

I am surprised nobody has commented on your battery set up, that is a great Idea for setting up Aux battery system for running all sorts of accessories.
Did you upgrade the alternator, and what size where the 4 extra batteries under the seat?
Build it for what you want it to do, not what everybody thinks it should do.

They are datasafe NPX-150rfr batteries.
40ah AGM UPS batteries
I only have the stock alternator right now, it does okay, but not great. I'll probably upgrade to a Mechman 270a a bit later

Not my thing at all but I like the build on that box. Looks solid and I'm sure that system slams. This "hick" will tell you to ignore the haters and do what you want with your rig.

Got it metered today and put a larger/longer cord on my battery charger
This is the last hoorah for it before I rip it out of the car this week. Parents want to sell their car and I'm going to get my own car (probably a Volvo wagon)
Added longer leads to my battery charger

Good work, man. Don't worry about the guys hating on you. It is your Jeep not theirs. Doesn't matter if you were in a bad mood or not. They were being rude regarding your install. Nothing to apologize for. It is nice to see someone put in the "wrench time" on a speaker box. I built my own setup in my 01 Ranger 4x4 back in the day but not this intricate. The battery setup is awesome. It might be a bit hypocritical but I would hate on a Jeep with like 22" spinners and all chromed out like a H2/H3 or something.  But just adding some "bump to the trunk"...no need to be rude to this kid. Keep it up.

I do have a system, this much bass isnt really my thing, but you did a nice job on the box construction, ive always though routers make nice tools for enclosure fab. I will caution you that when I had my alpine amp mounted to the box the low frequencies broke some solder joints inside. Even with rubber isolators it may be better to mount it remotely. Also was there any math involved in your port design, i'd love to see some science. And while many will disagree with you on this forum, at least you're building it yourself and not being just another ****** with a civic with bestbuy sub boxes.

How do you like your crescendo? When I redo mine I had been wanting 2 sundown 3500s but I've been hearing a lot of about these crescendos...

Honestly, it's a toss-up. Both are rock solid amps. I don't have any hands on experience with the sundowns, but every one I know has been happy with them.
I have my Crescendo at a half ohm right now and it takes it like a champ. Very efficient and doesn't get warm.
You will be happy with either
