Why did you mount your subs like that? Most do it for looks, but, from the design of the box it dosnt look like much for looks.

why? for looks obviously, looks better than the regular basket in box design.
i'm offended by your comment "from the design of the box it dosnt look like much for looks. " what do suggest mr bigshot? finish my setup cosmeticly maybe?

Also what else are you going to do to the trunk or are you just carpeting and thats it?

I'm going to carpet the front/top/back of the box, carpet the floor and do some "papier maché" on the sides to blend in the carPC and battery and to hide the strut towers. Once all that is done, painting it all (not the carpet) and adding some lighting.
Also i think when i do that and finish it i will keep it to myself in case it's not good enough for some people.
Thanks for your support

Hey sorry i didnt mean for it to sound bad, I ment make some curves or somthign with a bit of design, but its also hard to show your vision, from whats in your head until its done. I think your doing a good job, just not finished. I personaly dont like the look or thought of flip flopping the subs.. so thats why im not so intrigued. just my opinion. Please dont take what i say to heart. Im use to how my classes go in architecture. You can have a million great beautiful things, but the only things pointed out are the flaws or just somthign missed or somthign thats not perfect.
