    ^^ I'm kind of in the middle of working on it right now :) Been busy working on projects for other people.
    Not really worried about impressing people over the net. I'm more concerned with impressing the customer who is paying :)
    Here's a couple pics of the enclosure / amp rack I'm working on now for my pos tracker.

    How long have you been doing this?

    Did you use any bracing in the box? Typically, vents work better when on the same plane with drivers... Nice to see someone doing extra work:)

    been doing it for a while :D The box is braced very well. It's a sealed enclosure for a pair of old round solo's . That place on top that looks like a port is actually going to be where my power distribution is gonna reside. Gonna panit it all white and do some led edge lighting in there and around the amps. I'm building trim panels with plexi windows to go over the amps to give them a cleaner look. Thanks for the comments :)

    I like the box, ramos- you do nice work, always happy to see a custom sub enclosure that is actually custom. (I gotta figure out how to get my friends to start paying!):gunsmilie:

    With some playing and adjusting they can work in a manual vehicle. Just takes a little fore thought on where to get the enclosure volume without invading on the clutch panel. My goal is two seat judging. I have 3/4" of pathlength difference, Sound stage is top of the windshield level, and solid horizontally, depth is mid hood or further, and width is unbelievably wide for such a small vehicle. I'm even using large format, silk dome tweets. No rainbow affect at all. :)

    Thank you, this enclosure is something I threw together to test out the subs. My tracker is so small I had to build the amp racks in just to be able to fit them in the vehicle. I'm allready working on what's going in permanently. I have it framed up. I'm waiting on some biaxial and resin to come in for what I got planned next :)

    that lip on the face of the box, to make it easier to tote? or design specific for another cool trick?

    To keep the seat from hitting the subs when it's pushed all the way back and vice versa :)

    where you stay at? if you could draw me a plan for a box for 1 15" and 2 small amps that will fit in the trunk of a 93 altima i would be mad greatful.
