The main design criteria that most people look at is the box volume, and, to an extent, the port design if it's a ported enclosure. There's a lot more stuff you can do beyond getting the proper size box, port size, and port location. Certain shapes of boxes can have different acoustical properties while all having the same internal volume. Chris's are mainly shaped to fit cleanly in the Z, and beyond getting the volume to the right amount, I doubt he's done any substantial amount of acoustical engineering on the design...which isn't to insult Chris at all, because after the box volume is in spec, further optimizing the shape produces diminishing returns. Furthermore, the shape that produces the best sound probably isn't the shape that best fits the Z's cargo area. And like 90Z-NA says, they are generic boxes. Well-built, but pretty generic. Not a whole lot of design work to be done other than some basic geometry to get the right internal volume. Any high school sophomore could design a box composed of any arrangment of flat faces to have a specified volume, were they inclined to do so.
