hey i just bought this box off ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW
i am still waiting to receive it and i bought a sub but now i dont think it will fit. The dimensions of the sub are overall diameter of 11 1/16", mounting diameter of 9.5", mounting depth of 5". While the description says its a 9" whole he has subs of larger than 9" fitting it. So will this sub fit or not? by the way its an mtx thunder 8000. Thanks for the help.

From what i hear they are actually great subs. I bought them b/c they seemed to do what i needed happy medium of subs, and i saw that they installed them on someones car in some MTV whips ride seemed to have sounded good according to who installed them

Yes. Just try to keep the sanding even. Move around the opening instead of focusing on 1 spot at a time. It takes some effort but it's tough to screw up. Just keep in mind that trying to fit a 9.5" sub-width in a 9" hole means that you only need to sand down like .25" all around.
