anyway it should be:

Front/Back: 18.5x16.5
Top/Bottom: 18.5x12
Sides: 16.5x12

If you want everything to be within your dimensions then your side peices will be 3/4 an inch smaller all the way around. Hay do this for me. Make a little drawing of the box with the deminsions and upload it. (the dimensions you want the finished box to be) Once I see the shape I will be able to break down your cuts for you alot better. Yes you could just add to the front, back, top and botton, but then you will be changing the internal dimensions of your box. Not to mention its easer to cut down the side peices than it is to recut all the other peices.

Ok try this out

Front/Back: 18.5x16.5
Top/Bottom: 18.5x10.5
Sides: 15x10.5

Not only did I have to reduce the sides by 3/4 all the way around, but I had to remove 3/4 from the front and back of the top and bottom peices. Once everything is cut the edges will overlap just like the picture on the link you uploaded.

If you run into a problem like this again, take a peice of cardboard and draw out the outside demensions of your box. Then draw your inside lines 3/4 of an inch in. It will make the cuts alot easer for you to figure, especially in a box with an angled front.

angled front?!

anyway.. today im going to try and moun tthe amp and run the powerwire, maybe RCAs. Hopefully the box will be ready tuesday.

k will i got the power line trhoguh the firewall, but i have NO clue how thhe hell im supposed to fuse this stuff

i striped the wire back and tried to stick in the fuse holder (its the one that comes with knu konceptz's 4guage wiring kit)... but when i put the scew back in i have no sucess.

if i can ge tthe wires to stay in, what should i use to test the connectoinwhen i hook it up to the battery?

How far are you stripping the wire back? If you don't go far enough back, the screw won't hold it in properly. Check to make sure your not missing an adapter somewhere. Some companies use the same holder for 4 and 0 guage. So they come with a small sleeve that slides in to make the hole smaller for use with 4 guage wire.

actually, the sleeve(thing) it came with is for smaller wire (like 8guage and such).

i actually think i got the screw to hold, now i gotta hide the wire (its currently visible, i started to pull ap anel back but i think i may have broke 2 of the clips, so i stopped!).. Right now i have it partially lodged under the panel by the front door and then completely exposed in the back until its hidden around the seat.
