do a search - there are quite a few posts that show custom subwoofer enclosures.

go carpet, you will never get leather to fold good over those edges you have there

If you are set on leather (or vinyl) on the box, you could spend an afternoon with a belt sander and some other basic sanding tools to smooth everything out, or even layer it with some body filler and smooth that out instead. I was initially thinking you were going to build a box to fit with the rear set in place, but this is certainly a surprise. Props for your willingness to think outside the box (no pun intended).

ya i might just have to do that once i get it all done... but ya i dont use my rear seat anyways bc its so small back there so might as well add a little custom to the rear... i bought the black carpet today for 125 bucks for a 12 by 8 square foot piece

That looks pretty good. I was thinking you were going to put the mids and tweeters in the box too, but good thing you didnt. Keep those in front of you for staging purposes.
