@so fresh- As far as I'm concerned, it sounds awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if some one with a better ear could tweak the gains a little better than I have, but I'm stoked with it.
Having all that bass from the sub has taken a huge load off my front splits as well. I no longer have distortion and clipping from them, so the overall sound is 100% better

Cheers for all the feedback folks

I would be interested in that as well. I have heard conflicting opinions about regular vs irregular shaped enclosures.
Ultimately, I didn't make it this shape to maximise volume or anything, it was a simple case of "thats the only way i can afford to mount it without losing too much bootspace."
Anyone care to weigh in on the regular vs irregular enclosure shape?
