!!! PICS!!!! Of my NEW BOX!!! wooohooo.....

Hey fellas! Can you tell I'm exited?

Here are pics of my new custom box Eric (friendhasmax) built for me...
I'm very happy how it came out and the extra SPL I gained out of my setup was
a surprise bonus opposed to my 1.2 cu/ft box

Here are some details:

* made out of 1" MDF
* 1.5 cu/ft internal volume
* Marble formica wrapped in and out
* 6 super bright LEDS inside (3 top/3 bottom)
* Plexi rear

These pics were taken during the day....and I couldn' get my flash to turn off on my digicam so I couldn't get a perfect shot of LED's in action....but will post more tonite....

love it !
I wanted to do something a lil bigger and showcase amp in wheel well and all....but got a baby coming so i needed my spare intact and to be able to take out move sub with ease so i decided to stay simple but a lil' fun as well

I still have to run a board underneat carpeting to level the box and bolt it down nicely.

I'm also fishing the net for a killer grill for finishing touch....

Thank you

I didn't anticipate that it would come out so sweet internally....but it was Erics idea to go all out with the fomica....and the LED's at night create a sweet
effect off the patterns of the marble

Will try to take my flash off tonite to get a better pic of it lit up....
