I have been planning on building a custom sub box for the new system i should (hopefully) be putting in soon. I have been looking around the website at custom boxes and see some of them are designed to fit over the wheelwells and looked like a pretty good idea for me. One concern i have is would that cause any extra rattle? i want to put in 3 12" subs, and dont want the box bouncing all over the wheelwells.

here is an example i drew up in Rhino of what i planned to do. I would love to stretch it over the wheel wells, but if its goin to produce more rattle i might not:

I have the custom fiberglass box holding the 2 12s IDMAXs that fit over the wheel well and I have no rattling whatsoever after I bolted it down. I had to bolt it down on the side wall my box was to top heavy and it rolled over a few times.
