OK....here goes. =)

The baffle of my box runs the width of my roof( 34" ), then slants down the b-pillars ( 22" ), then straight down( 17.25"), the bottom length is 54.25".

Here's were it gets interesting. hehe

From the bottom, it goes back to the wheel well, slants up the angle of the w.w., goes near the rear window, then slants back towards the roof at about the angle of the rear window.

Is there any advantages or disadvantages to having a box of this design?

It's also a vented enclosure. Thanks for any information!!! =)

Advantage: low probability of standing waves.
Disadvantage: all the angles, what a nightmare.

Advantages: bigger enclosure

Disadvantage: hard to build. I suggest you to use a lot of fiberglass to reinforce and seal box. I guess you will build it inside of the car = even harder to build.

Not sure: how will shape of box influence SPL. It might not add anything extra dBs because of volume of the box

The angles will be a pain and from experience they never match perfectly have fun with the fiberglass
