Colorado "Stealth" Box

This is my version of a "Stealth Box" I built this weekend. It has two 8" CDT Audio EF-8's in a side firing configuration. It sits between the jump seats, and still retains the jack & cup holders. Sorry for the crappy pics, all I had was my cell phone. Let me know what you think:

Thanks for the compliments guys! It sounds awesome, considering they're just two 8's. Lots of punch and really tight. I wasn't really expecting it to sound as good as it did since the subs were previously in a larger vented box, but I think it sounds a lot better now.

is the sound quality affected because the speakers are back to back? also i thought there was supposed to be more room behind them?

mind you im not an expert curiosity.

No the sound quality is not affected due to the configuration of the speakers & from what I've read, the subs only require .25 c/ft of airspace each and that box is about 1 c/ft. They seem to sound better in this box as opposed to the one they were in previously, which was a larger vented box. Thanks for looking.

Here's a better pic:
