do you mean like this box http://www.alpine-usa.com/ if you do mean that cind of box it will only get like 1/2 as loud but if i was you becaues you got a jeep is to go with a seald box cuz if you go with a ported BOX you will get a sound of air coming out of the port and it gets VARY ERATAING!!!

correct the box will work if it isn't square. however, make sure that the angles on the edges are right so the two pieces of mdf will line up correctly so they will be no leaks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

First of all, a lot of prefab boxes come w/ the back & the baffle at an angle to eachother to try to further deflect the rear wave of the sub. Second of all, if you try to put the amp in the box, you're going to have to run a bunch of wires through your box, which will almost certainly cause a leak, and if you ever want to change a gain or crossover point or fuse on your amp you will be fcuked. also amps need cool air around them. It will most likely heat up the inside of the box pretty f*ing fast and then either be shut off by its thermal protection or just blow up.
