I finished up my DamonB box (thanks again!) and I'm just about ready to wrap it in vinyl but I wanted to test fit it first. It's a VERY tight fit and would probably take a lot of pushing and shoving to move the carpet down enough to get it under the strut bar (sway bar?). This is pre-vinyl wrap. So my question is; those of you who have the DamonB sub box, did you remove the strut bar prior to installing it, then use the bar to push it down?

I'm worried all the squeezing and pushing will ruin my wrap otherwise.

FYI, I did measure the final product and my dimensions are correct.

 

ran into this same issue and what I ended up doing was if you pick up the rear carpet there is 1" of foam material under the carpet back there. I removed the foam and put the carpet back down and it created enough clearance to get it in without any trouble.
