The base is 5.5" but the actual enclose speaker box portion on the box is 23" width x 15" height x 2.75" top depth x 3.75 bottom depth.

I ran the power from the battery to the driver side firewall grommet area with the bundle of wires. The bracket mounted up easily and is very stable. I had to modify the 2013-2014 Kicker bracket to allow it to mount under the 2015 dash. Only had to cut the rear carpet to allow placement of sub.
