(Don't ask why he likes JL Audio so much, because I don't know).

There was enough space on the top of the box to mount his amp, and it won't be seen from the front of the box.
I'll post pictures of the final install today once it's all wired up.

Point is, I wouldn't recommend you buy prefab box because they: often are made of inferior particle board, are not dimensioned correctly for your car or application, carpet matching is hit or miss, etc. Build one, you'll appreciate the work so much more.
I personally don't like pre-fab boxes either, but I'm going to state a few things here since I've actually owned one.

-Seller asked me which sub I will be using so he could build it to spec.
-It's made of 3/4" MDF.
-The carpet it came with matched much closer than the one you used.

We used black carpet on purpose. He wanted to contrast with the OEM carpet.
If he built one for you according to spec, based on your order. It's not pre-fab now is it?

Pre-fab = mass-produced enclosures made with one set of dimensions intended for general sales.
