In Process of box for L5 8"..

Recommended Posts

This is a box I am building for a friend. For an 8" Kicker L5, There is very minimal space in his Jeep TJ, so the height is pretty much no give for the size of the sub, even though it is an 8". This is the first box I have ever built before, so I know it may seem a bit rough in some parts, but I am working on it to make it look good for my buddy. If you guys have any comments about it to make it better, please let me know! after all i am only a beginner! Thanks!

The box looks good, especially for your first box. I would round off the edges around the port and spray the inside of the port with a flat black spray paint.

Some more of the build getting finished right now. If you are asking, yes that is a wall mounting terminal cup; but it was the only thing I could find without having to order online. I also know that it doesn't look good at all, but I am going to try and do up something creative to make it look not as bad. I also have to do a bit more clean up and re cocking since I had to drill a bit more. But I will now we painting and doing the artwork on the box, then wiring, then sealing the top down and I should be good to go to put it in the jeep.
