And what should I do about the amp fuse? Do I really need a huge 60something amp fuse inbetween the battery and amp.

^60amp is on the small side. Your fuse needs to be large enough to handle not just the constant load but the peak load from the amp. The fuse's purpose is to prevent your battery from exploding in the event you are in an accident and the power wire is crushed against the chassis. If that happens, a LOT more than 60 amps is going to run through teh wire :p

if the box doesn't completely seal off the rear from the font it will hit harder facing backwards because of 'cabin gain' - the added length of the trunk boosts low end response.

firing up is a last resort to be used when you cant fit a regular box since it really does make the trunk rattle like hell :p you could always put a trim ring to face the sub forward but that defeats the purpose of a wheel well box.

Not sure if you have seen this box yet. I am thinking about replacing mine with one of these to get a little more space back.
