Actually it's about level with the top of the hump.I built mine a little higher at the rear most to tilt the subs forward and also don have t-tops.But if push comes ta shove build da box and just trim a little off the top to recess the top the enclosure to a level ya want then ya can just lay the t's over it and should still be able to use the tie points to hold the bags in place.Not major just bulky and time consumeing but the thump is worth the effort.

here try this...Use the rough dimensions and do a mockup of it in cardboard.Then trim as ya see fit.Keep in mind that the thickness of the wood ya use and the thinness of the cardboard will effect some measurements.Just take yer time and use a ruler.Then enjoy the noize.Mines got a 12" infinity and sounds real nice.
