Default Building JL audio stealthbox clone

Does anyone out there have the JL Audio stealthbox that wouldn't mind making a very detailed drawing of it for me, I would like to build
It and save myself some money. $700 is just too much to drop on a sub box when I could build it myself for waaaayyyy less with all the specs. Thanks in advance!

700$... For the 2 Dr model? They're fiberglass enclosures either way but there's plenty of tutorials about fiberglass enclosures, and from what I saw it didn't look too hard, just time consuming but audio shops will charge you more for the enclosure than jl does. I personally got a sweet deal on a 15" and am gonna try to fit it over the wheel hump in my jku, most likely wood but unsure.

I took out the factory sub and used it as a mold and foundation for a custom enclosure that I made out of fiberglass. It holds a shallow mount 10" sub powered by a 300 watt amp both R Fosgate. It takes up a bit more room than the factory sub but maybe only a half a cubic foot. Otherwise the underfloor storage works perfectly and it matches the interior pretty well. Including Linex, I have about $55 of material costs and about 10 hours of labor. The photo shows some reflection off the Linex, but it is not that reflective without the flash.
