cargo area ...
I personally wouldn't put a box where the first pic is (between the seats) seems like it would be in the way.
just a suggestion.
Behind the passenger seat is where a 3month old sits... and her feet won't touch the box until she's about 5yrs, but I want the option of both locations in case I'm transporting adults or need the entire cargo area.
About the box... I've done woodworking before. Is some standard 3M yellow/white carpenters glue sufficient as long as it's clamped properly during drying? Do I need to screw or nail during the clamping? Do I need to prep/roughsand the edges of the MDF where I'm applying glue?
Some good 3M spray adhesive is good for the carpet?
Should I (using a jigsaw) cut the hole prior to assembly of the box or before?
Are the standard plastic terminal plates from parts express going to survive this sub, or should I use binding posts drilled through the box like these:

2005 4Runner, looking at having 2 locations to set the box, one behind the passenger seat, one in the cargo area. I'll run 2 sets of speaker wires to facilitate. I'm 99% decided on a RLi8 or Orphan8 and here's what I've come up with.
The photos are of a Costco baby wipes box for visual reference 13.5x8.5x11.
If made of 3/4" MDF, I get an internal volume of 798^inches or .46^ft. If the RLi8 is .08displacement, that gives me a .38^ft box... right? I was always shit for math, but am I missing something? If aiming for .4^ft like everybody says you should for these particular drivers in a sealed encosure, I can just make it an inch longer or maybe just some polyfill?
Cut the MDF, glue together, route hole for driver, apply carpet, install binding posts? Still missing anything?

Yup, another squid... but a damn good looking one.
I just bought an '05 4Runner and am halfway through a helluva quality budget build.
Scion T1809 HU, MB Quart components/coaxials... and looking for a budget monster 8" sub.
I've pretty much decided on a RL-i8 at around .4cuft, but am also looking at an Orphan8... $50 is $50 after all. I was trying to keep the whole thing under $500... and was there with a used Cadence amp and an Alpine 10R... but then I got to looking at how big I was going to need to build a box and it was just too much. Now I need a SMALL box.
I've got a few questions about the best way to spend my money and other options... those Tang Band W8 Neo's are 1/3 the price... and there are some other options.
You'll see an appropriately homeworked/searched thread from me soon to seal the deal.

Is building a box "this" easy?

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to spell that out. I was pretty sure I had a good handle on things, but I'd like this little guy to last a long time, and the details are important when you're talking about a product to stand up to time... and I think I've got the details.
