I don't like loud base, but you have done some really great work making the housing there. Kudos to you good sir.

I hope you are done upgrading your stereo, I'd hate to see you have to make a new glass enclosure because you got new amps that don't fit!

Lookin' good.

Let's not get started on that.. I am sure with my luck I will get picked up by another company and have to rebuild everything, ah the life of a sponsored car.

Shhhhh.. I already chipped the amp rack a little, eek, and it's not even in the car yet.

ALL DONE!! (at least for the show, until i redo and make some added stuff..) And I know it's hard to see because the paint is dark, but it's pretty nice.










Also redid the ps2 mount until i do something with glass, pictures with flash suck..

the 300/4 is connected, the 500/1 is not and i dont think it will be because the subs would blow out the back of the enclosure, not enough air space.

this one wasn't so much sponsored, because I did it all myself.

it was about $600.00 in supplies (saw, sander, glass, resin, etc etc) and then about $400.00 for prep and finish.

i am probably going to redo it all though, i want to make it look smoother and have the amps more visable.

well, don't redo it just yet.

sit back and enjoy the hard work for now. redo it later, much later. looks pretty darn good to me.

i am really really picky about the car and making sure that i have everything done to a T.. i dont think this setup is really up to par, but that is just me, and it doesnt help all of the cars in my club with setups that blow mine away.

What I mean is, at least in the pics, the amps look real nice in the glass work but you can't really see them at all, as a result of the spare tire covering it up...Looks almost cludered...I think if you'd lose the spare, then you could see more of the glass work...But since the glass is black it's hard to tell in a pic.

green

I know exactly what you mean though, we had changed it because we thought it would be even more cluttered another way, but it turns out this way may have been worse because you can't see the amps.

I think I am going to redo the amp rack and it connect to the fender walls and go all the way up to the deck lid, maybe put the amps lower and at more severe angles.

i just don't have any time to completely rip it apart again (patience neither). We shall see. Thanks for the insight.
