September 4, 200718 yr Author cant tell but it is primered and got painted the next day..again just primered..i will probably do a second coat of paint some time this week and maybe put some sort of finish on it.. i'll try to get pics of the box painted.. i only have the 4 sides together as of now because the other 2 sides will have to be installed inside the trunk lol. amp should be here on friday so i will be bumpin by this weekend!! i will have to get a wire kit soon.. i should have taken some pics with the sub in it too.. o well i guess.. pics of the box painted might be up today if i get around to it!!
September 6, 200718 yr Looks good, but I'd love to see some bracing in the box. Big holes with thin walls otherwise.

Personally I would have made the baffle at least another 3/4" to help compensate as well.

September 8, 200718 yr Author what kind of amp is that?its a cadence txa1000dive only heard good stuff about them so im looking forward to bumpin by next weekend
September 9, 200718 yr I would make a divider in the middle and make it into two seperate chambers. Not that I feel two chambers are necessary but it would add alot of structural integrity to the box. It would take alot of flex out and help hold the weight of those 2 15's

It would take alot of flex out and help hold the weight of those 2 15'si actually happen to have a piece of wood that is the exact size to fit in there.. but idk if there is enough room between the 2 subs.. i will test fit them later

September 12, 200718 yr Author ^^should be real nice!!update: car is wired and box bracing is done.. im lazy and tired so pics will be up later.. if weather is nice i should be done tomorrow
October 6, 200717 yr Author its a lil past due for an update but o well..everything is in and running.. only problem is box flexing (i took bracing out for clearance reasons when i put the box in..) the bracing will go back in when i redo the baffles (my other problem) i cut the holes on the baffle with a jig saw so they look like chit and let air out of my box.. im planning on porting the box with some external ports also.. anyways here are the pics:o and the amp kit came in too.. lol pics:pic with dash some what apart:the first cd to play on them:(and yes i was disappointed he was out sold by kanye but i have to admit this cd is nothing like his other 2.. and kanye's new cd is definitally better)
October 6, 200717 yr decent box...I would have used MDF but plywood works if you brace it well.I have that same wire kit....awesome kit for the price....awesome kit in general
October 6, 200717 yr Those rubber gaskets are designed to have the screws go right through those holes. Any reason why you used washers instead?
