Looks really nice, Erik. Very clean, and very functional. If I my sub wasn't so deep I'd do a similar (but single sub) setup.
I don't wanna throw a wet blanket, but something did cross my mind- bass cancellation. I'm positive Bumpin' Yota could confirm this, but if you run both subs incorrectly, you'll wind up cancelling out a certain amount of thump. What I can't remember is if it needs to be in series or in parallel to prevent that...

Sound waves are (partially) cancelled when one speaker/sub is connected correctly (+/-) and one is connected backwards (-/+)

Well, I had another productive day working on the box... got about 7 hours in today. I finished with the build and the speakers are now INSTALLED!!! Woo hoo... I still have to wire everything up, but hopefully I can do that on Sunday. Well, here are the photos of it actually finished looking:
This bolt attaches through the box with a rubber gasket and a washer where the tigh-downs used to go. The gasket should keep an air-tight seal.

This goes where the cargo canopy cover went... carpeted to match since you can see like 1/2" of it

Another angle

The screw that threads into the existing hole of the canopy






My MagLite is attached to the side here

My fire extinguisher on the opposite side



My cute as hell little girl playing on daddy's new box... she just tunred 9-months old yesterday!

More to come when it's ALL finished.

Not really... I haven't driven it since I installed it. The box is in, but the truck has no seats, carpet, wires, etc... been working on that the past few days. It should be driveable by Thursday or Friday. I measured my lift before/after the install... looks like I lost almost 1/2" in the rear since it went in. I was looking for stiffer coils before I put this in and I'm pretty sure I'll need those even more now. We'll see later this week when it's all done.
