The pic showing my box is an old one. At the time I had the amps mounted on the floor behind the box but this took up way too much space so now the amps are on the sides of the trunk and the box is pushed all the way up against the back seat. Also, the pic shows an audiocontrol 4.1 "it's been swapped for a 3.1". Overall I'm fairly happy with my setup. The only problems I have with it is that this car has way too many rattles "which I never seem to get around to fixing" and the Quart tweeters "titanium" are a bit harsh.
