Thanks man. This finally cost me something.... Well besides the subs and amp the box finally cost me something. That was $85 to have sprayed.

That looks great!

Surely, you saved that AUTOCAD file.

Of course I did. I have that emblem and the box layout that I drew up. It helps tremendously to be able to see how it was going to be laid out before the first board was cut. I was able to spot possible issues and areas where the clearance was going to be too tight and modify as needed.

Ok in order to get this thing wired correctly I need just a tad bit more help. My amp is a mono amp but it has 2 pair of wire outputs to make wiring 2 subs to it easier. The manual basically says that they are just the mono output split into 2 pairs. So what I want to do is utilize both outputs giving each sub it's own set of wires. I want the ohm load on the amp to be 4 ohm when both subs are attached. It is my understanding that each subs total ohm load will need to be 8 ohm for me to accomplish this. These subs have 2 main connections for the input wires on each sub. Just behind those are 4 flat connectors that are to be jumped to alter the ohm load for the sub. There is a + and - for each voice coil. Right out of the box I measured a 2 ohm reading for the sub taking the reading at the main input connectors. I then opened the manual for the sub and saw that this is the factory setting for the subs. It then shows one other configuration to achieve a 8 ohm reading. I looked at the diagram and then changed the jumper configuration to achieve what the manual said would be a 8 ohm reading. I then took another reading and I get 6.4 ohm on the meter. Is this ok and are there any holes in my understanding of this so far ?

Nobody?

You have it right. The DC resistance is lower than 8 ohm. 6.4, 6.9, etc is fine.
Diagram A on page two of the manual. It is not really good to sit the woofer on the surround like that (maybe the panel it is on has a hole in it).

I didn't, Lolz it is sitting on the wood insert that comes in the box. I checked that before I turned it over. The hole in that plate allows the surround to not touch the ground.

Come on man you know me!

FINALLY got around to doing the install. Yesterday I removed the old sub and amp, remounted the new amp, ran new wires back to the subs location, and buttoned the interior back up. Today I mounted the terminals on the box, wired and installed the subs into the box, and then hooked it up in the jeep. I will say that I am glad that I bought an upgraded alternator as I can see the lights dim on the gauge cluster when it hits. For only pushing these with 750w total they get loud and the sound is CLEAN as a whistle. I am pretty happy with it so far. I am not pushing them very hard at the moment as I figure they need to be broken in a little bit. Not sure is breaking in a speaker is a myth or not. I can personally tell a difference in the sound that a speaker makes after several hours of playing has accumulated on said speaker.

We need a vibration/distorted mic video for you to prove your worth.

I never understood the YouTube videos of people doing demos of their systems. I will shoot one for you if you really want it though.
