We did this because it is not going to be exactly square or rectangular. so based on the dimensions we have on the base, we gave it 12 inches high all the way through, this left a small margin for the slight curvature that the enclosures will have, so that we can get as close to 1 cubic foot as possible without going under it and not allowing the subs enough air to play with.
The subs will face inward and slightly forward and tilted back at about a 10 degree pitch.

I am just finishing up some work sanding the pieces we cut today as well as figuring out how I'm going to run the wires for the enclosures. I have taken quite a few pictures that I will post in the next hour as well as a few more things I came across while doing what I did today.
Do yourself a favor and vent it. Trust me... I'll post a pic of my 12" sub. You should have seen it with the two twelves. I couldn't drive around was too loud, had the neighbor from 4 houses down complain about shaking stuff in his house. FWIW I also have a kicker CVR12. Also what amp do you plan on using? I'd suggest a kicker amp as mixing amps and subs doesn't always go well. Sorry for short and crappy response very tired been a 12hr work day.
