wow beautiful sub!

why dark green? your car is gray just get a regular marble color. I think Tony Fernandes has a grey marble.


btw hows it sound compared to the bull?

That is a beautiful sub... but I don't think green would be the way to go. I think a nice red would compliment the sub and your charcoal max perfectly

edit... Marble red with some black mixed in. A full red would throw it off

haha i'd figured Don would say he likes blue marble

red...haven't ran into red ones yet...though i've only checked home depot so far. haven't checked lowes...

and as for the sub being compared to the brahma, it's pretty close, but i'll give a full review once i give it the power it deserves

Yeah I defintley need a recommendation here as well. My upholstrey started peeling off around the vent (a little pos cavalier thought he had more bass than I did one day )

that's ok... I couldn't afford to have another car anyway. Heck I can't even drive my Max right now because I need new brake pads.

Why did you get rid of the brahma in the ported box? I remember seeing the video of that thing at full tilt and it looked impressive.
