I don't think they bolt right in but they aren't hard to put in from my knowledge, I have never seen the bottom of one, a lot of people use them so can't be hard it put in. I'm building a custom console to house my new sub and amps

If you're handy I'd say build one. Probably start with a cardboard cutout/template, move on to wood, and from there finish it in a variety of ways. One option would be spray on adhesive and use fabric such as (faux leather) and apply it on and/or cut out some pieces of kitchen counter top sheets (at Home Depot) to match the interior and glue that on as well or screw it in. That way you design it the way you want and feel good about what you accomplished!
