Looks nice, although dynamatting the inside of the box is not a great idea.

It's just not ideal. The walls of a sub box should be as firm and solid as possible. Putting the dynamat there gives them a 'squish' factor. I'm sure you won't even be able to hear the difference, but if we're counting hairs here, the dynamat is pointless.

It looks like he just made a baffle with no fibreglass in the spare tire well. In this case Dynamat is a good idea to deaden the metal.

Got the system running - have to say I am pretty happy with the way it sounds. Just need to get my deck and it is all done.
