Metal plate behind rear seat

Anybody else have a problem with this thing looking like crap because its all rusted? I left it out one night and the humidity and dew caused the thing to corrode. I just painted mine today.

mine was rusted too, even a couple of the screws where rusted shut.

i was wondering if you leave it out does it reduce the structural integrity of the car

And when your 400 lb aunt sits in the back seat, thank God for the metal plate.

You know thats funny, I took that out a week ago, and left it in my yard for the night. The day before it was perfect, now its full of rust?. Anyway I didnt put it back on there, and seems like I lost quite a bit of bass. I was trying to save on weight,,,but I guess I'll put it back.

Weird. What type of box do you have, and which way do you face it? I have 2 12's sealed facing rear of the car.

Firehazard, probably. Theres fuses. Tubes are concrete forming tubes. Internal volume is 3.0 cubic feet each tube. Yes 15" woofers.

As for my house shot, those thin panels you see are speakers. www.magnepan.com for more info. You probably wont notice but the black tube in the corner is a tube subwoofer.
