Exclamation Custom MDF enclosures : Install / Cost info needed (pics enclosed)

So Im nearing the end of my current ICE quest, which has been going on ever since I joined T-Bhp Im still in the process of SAVING towards the final install costs and exploring options that will save me some precious rupees...

Now coming to the situtaion at hand : I want to accomodate the 6.5" JBL 606ce in an enclosure in the FRONT of a Santro Zipdrive (manual windows). I have been informed by one installer that without power windows, I cannot make mods to the door ? From the pics I have seen of Rareone's 6" install in the front door of his santro... there seems to be some metal cut to accomodate the speakers. More on this later...




The above pod is fixed in a santro (power windows)... and holds a 5.25" CV comp...



The guy now has this MDF enclosure accomodating both the tweeter and mid of the CV comp... Im interested in something like this as it positions the mid a little better... Regarding tweeter Im unsure whether this is the best position... inclined to try Sam's DIY tweeter install.



Thats what his install looks like in the boot... Im after a SEALED box like that... minus the fancy flames

Iv been offered the component door pod + custom sub box (mdf+black carpet) for roughly 3k. Another installer quoted roughly 2.2k for just the sub box.

Today i visited a warehouse sort of place that stocks art leather seats and there was a lot of MDF planks, boxes, spacers etc lying around so I inquired regarding costs for custom stuff, he said for approx 2.3k I could get speaker enclosures + a custom sub box. The only issue with these guys is not the quality or finishing but how to get them to make accurate enclosures...

Can someone help me translate the following specs into measurements I can give the guys building the MDF enclosures ?
