I'm taking a break from carpeting it right now.

ummm thats escessive. the screws offer nothing else but to keep the enclosure together until the glue dries. otherwise it is pointless.

I'm coming into this forum late but..... I was thinking of doing a downfiring box as well, however with three tens. I want to make the box fit inside the rear area as tightly as possible while still being able to get it out if needed. I had this system in my old Dodge and took it out for the HHR and am just waiting to put her back together. I do however like the look of the two Sony's.
