they sound amazing! the bass is tight, quick and bumps when you want it to. Its exactly what i was looking for.

a million times better than the infinity. i think im gonna take the on infinity that isnt blown and make it a subwoofer for my home audio.

i like how in the after pics, you photoshopped the wood that was showing in the before pics, lol. that is the same idea of what i wanted to do to clean up my trunk, how u built the walls on the sides of the box to fill in the gaps, something simple, clean and not-so time consuming as fiberglassing, (and i hate the look of fiberglassed boxes and dashes in a clean simple daily driver such as im going for lol). but props on the install! looks good, bet it sounds nice from what u said

mods, now looking at it, i think this post should have been in the "Photos & Media" forum. if so, could you move it there?

thanks for the positive feedback 1Bad02cav... i really like the setup, nice and clean. i agree with you on the fiberglassed trunk setups, looks a little to "ricer" for me. again, thanks for the positive comments.

and must i say again, these subs are amazing.

looks good except for the area around the amp where u can see the body of the car.



and i disagree about the fiberglass boxes being ricer. if done right they are lighter and take up less space then the same wood box.

my only problem with them is when theyre in cars that arent that showy, my car is just dropped a lil on 18s soon to have a very subtle 2 tone and RK lips on it, i dont see a big flashy fiberglass box working in there

fiberglass doesnt have to be flashy, it can be covered in matching trunk carpet, or wrapped in vinyl. it doesnt always have to be painted.

ill see how hosting off cardomain works just to make this quick... but hey you remind me of me lol... updates on this old picture though, all sub mounting brackets are behind the sub and there are carpeted walls on either side. The amp box also has fans that probably arnt needed. One thing im going to re design though from your idea is the way the amp box is mounted... i have to mounted to the bottom of the carpet floor which makes it a pain to get to the amp. I think im going to have to mount the box to the floor and the glass to the carpet. Dont know why i didnt do it the easy way first

sndsgood: i agree, fiberglass are lighter and if done right look really good. but most of the one ive seen dont really fit with the overall car and thats what makes it look "ricer" to me.


Jared: looks real good. id like to see some pictures of what it looks like now. im also going to put some glass on the flase floor. and carpet the amp rack so you cant see the yellow wheel well.
