Solid Box
I decided to go with a sealed box for my Pioneer TS-W304R sub, as I listen to a wide variety of music and wanted ensure SQ and accuracy. The box came to me in fine shape, I think it had one little ding in a corner of the carpet, but nothing you'd care about or notice, really. It's solid- 3/4" MDF instead of the thinner stuff some companies try to push on you. While it appeared well sealed, I caulked all interior seams, just in case. I also added some dense poly batting- not polyfill, but the stuff that comes in sheets- to the interior walls to reduce potential unwanted resonances. Lastly, I added the "hook" side of some strong velcro to the floor of my trunk, which sticks well to the carpet the box is covered in. Between the weight of the box, the speaker, and the velcro, it hasn't moved an inch in 6 months of driving. Anyhow, the setup is louder than I expected from a sealed box (because everybody else seems to go with ported), and accurate enough for all kinds of music. No unwanted sounds from the box, and it is holding up well under a lot of loud play. There is only one feature I'd change: it has binding posts on the outside that lead to spade connectors on the inside. Why not have binding posts on the inside, too? Seems like a bright idea, though I don't recall ever having seen it on any other box.

Good value for the price, but looking for real performance, get a better box.

Unbeatable at this price point. Solidly built and looks quite nice. Many of the boxes I have seen at 2 to 3 times this price are not as solidly built and look generic. I'm using this with a Rockford Fosgate P1S412 and it helps deliver tight, clean sounding bass. If I need another box with these specs in the future, this is the box I will choose every time.

I would definately recommend this box for any vehicle type. I have it in an Isuzu Rodeo and it fits right behind the back seats with the same angle. I did make a triangular port in one of the corners, but it is a very nice box. Great for the price.

Traded it to a friend as soon as it arrived. He said it sounds great for a $20 box. Couldn't tell the difference between that and the $200 he had before.

Summary
Pros: cheap, easy to setup, compact height, nice looks.
Cons: Had to adjust the hole size for my sub.
All in all I like this box a lot. I put a 12 inch RE Audio SRX sub into. The installation was easy. Drilled holes and I used T-nuts from Lowe's to install the sub. The only issue was that my 12 inch sub did not quite fit into this hole. I bought a $10 half round file (tool) from Lowe's and made it bigger. This box is that it's very compact. I like the low height. Most midsize and smaller cars should have no problems with it.

Pros: Standard 3/4" MDF construction, all the joints are clean and it's sealed up well. The carpeting is very clean, no creases or wrinkles or anything. The sloped back is good for butting up against the rear seats in my hatchback.
Cons: The terminal post assembly on mine was a little crappy. Replaced the amp fuse before I realized it was the terminal. They're loose and wobble, which causes it to cut in and out. But to be honest, it's an easy fix.
The box is definitely worth the $37 it's going for now, but not quite the $60 list price.
