I don't trust prefab boxes for anything. sorry. I'd send it back and have someone from here build you one.

^ Ditto

I mean come on Coot, I don't mean to bust your chops on this, but you've heard us say time and time again that your sub is only going to be as good as the box you put it in... And you're not exactly dealing with a cheap lil entry level sub that's likely to sound decent in a prefab sealed... You didn't go cheap on the sub (15" Fi SSD) so why go cheap on the box... Trust me when I say you'll regret it when someone pulls up to you with a much cheaper sub in a proper enclosure and it sounds better.
