But will it be loud?

I will say that that type of kick panel was a first for me. Wasn't sure what I would be getting into till I got there. I really wish I could have had one more day on those to finish sealing them and clean them up some more.

I know, the time went by too fast Saturday.

Louder than stock.

well, the work you did is appreciated. I plan to add additional bracing and go with wood glue. I also plan to add a layer of lead here and there.

You forgot spray foam.....

[erinh]

Heh... I had a love affair with spray foam. It did me wrong. So I no longer mess with it.

Is the top of the enclosure 1" or 2 3/4inch pieces sandwiched together??

I could be wrong but it looks like a single layer of 3/4" birch.

[erinh]

1/2" birch right now.

Got the power supply installed last night. I considered installing it in the rear quarter panel behind the trunk liner so it would be hidden and out of the way but ultimately I decided to install it under the rear deck for a) ease of access to the fuses and b) ease of access to the terminals should I ever need to help power someone's system (which I've done a few times before).

Standing behind the trunk it's not visible until you duck down.








The power supply wires feed in to my distribution block where it's also fused (I like fuses). It "backfeeds" the system power. So when the 120v plug is connected the system is powered through the power supply. When disconnected, the system is powered from the battery. Still need to run power/ground for it. Right now I'm waiting on an additional 0 gauge ring terminal.

I assume you bought you ring terminal already.... I have a bag of them.
