the box is ported with a 2" diameter hole, and 8" long cardboard tube.

I was waiting for such comments. I too was thinking of using the lid on a made custom one but the practicality is not so good. I have another idea but I don't want to share it or someone will more than likely copy before I even get the chance. Let's just say 8" hopefully roughly 450RMS and 900W peak so packing a punch for the size! Amps could be located on the front side of the bulkhead mounted again on a custom job. I would use the faux leather / leatherette material for everything and the inside of the cubby carpeted. No way am I having carpet on anything else I hate the stuff as it gets dirty and hairs in it and what not I would love to use real leather but at £64 a pop and need at least 3 peices well you get the idea on costs

kona,
in most cases i have put the amp inside the cubby box and never needed to adjust anything and no overheating problems even on a 9 hour journey.

Good to hear I'll send a PM later if I remember of the ideas I have in mind

no worries
i did use cabinet catches on my old box but i still scratch myself when i put my seatbelt on. i have found it easier to perminantly screw the lid down; the sound is better, too.
The side port made very little difference to the sound quality, especially with the engine running, so i never repeated that on the other 2 boxes.
