The top/bottom/front of the enclosure is 3/4" MDF, sides are 1/2" MDF. The design serves 2 purposes - 1: it fits perfectly around the tranny hump and seat belt attachment points and 2: breaks up the sides into boards no larger than 6"x11" to reduce the amount of flex without having to add bracing. We used 1 5/8" fine thread drywall screws and Gorilla wood glue to hold it all together and then sealed all edges inside and out with caulk (I like my enclosures bulletproof, :lol: ). To seal around the sub, I used thin weatherstripping. No leaks ftw!
Here's at the end of the first day:

After the front and top have been installed, waiting for the glue on those pieces to set so I can caulk and install the subs (notice the 8ga connecting the binding posts/Mags in series):
To make a total load of 2ohms for the strapped 1000D's, I wanted each Mag to be 1ohm and then wired the Mags in a series load to the 1kD's. Due to the size of the wires I was using (12ga x2 inside the enclosure, 8ga from amps to enclosure) I simply wired the voice coils in parallel at the binding posts:
