The shape really shouldn't be much of an issue, more so the size. As long as it's within the recommended specs of the driver. When I was doing mine (quite some time ago) I used water inside a garbage bag inside the box to weigh it. Then used that to convert it to how many litres of space I had. I ended up having to add more to the box to get more volume.
I was just in Nanaimo....lol
Funny, that's exactly what I'd planned to do(water). I'm going to build the box 6" or so too wide,fill it to my desired weight/volume, and cut it on the water line. I may even get creative and do it on an angle(probably not)

Sounds like you know what you're going to do, but here's another example. I used fibreglass to form to the truck corner and wheel well for the back, and then used MDF for the front and top of the box.

Sorry about the crappy iPhone picture.

That's kinda what I was thinking for size. I have a pretty good idea what I'm going to do, but I like others input. A few of you guys have far more experience with stereo equipment than I, so I value your ideas.
