The 3's and 5's are virtually the same drive except the lower on the 5 is shorter (bringing the X up). The boxes will push the drives out and down (bringing the X back down).

I know boxes look cool and all but you're going to do all that work and have pretty much the ame affect from the drives. And I'll tell you what's going to look cooler is the rooster you're going to get from the shorter 5's with out boxes! I think with out the boxes you're going to get what you're looking for.

Unless of course you're blocking the transom and re-cutting for the boxes/5's. Then never mind everything I just said. But that also seems to be a lot of work just to have boxes.
