im so happy with it, its the main feature and looks so oem and fits like it came with the car lol
and the little bit to set it all off red LED's to a switch to light up the amp internals looks really smart bit hard to see in this pic ...

Boot build is fantastic. Really like the work so far. Fair play for trying different things! I'd be terrified haha

coming along nicely, you got the grill spot on looking at them pics,
how did you change the door cards to gloss i was going to cover mine in fibreglass resin (not fibreglass) then paint, is that boot build big enough for them subs?

ye bud recomended size is 1.75 to 2.2 cubic sqare feet and there around 1.8 foot each so all good and both ways would be wrong mate ye dont use filler, fibreglass or resin its as simple as stripping it sanding it down primer it and colour it (highbuild primer) i think i offered to do the work for you at one point a month or so ago if you got a quote
edit: its 1.8 something each box ... and cheers mistermangoo love stepping in to the unknown lol

cant have been me last time i looked at your prog thread you hand your 1st badgless grill lol, the enclosures look so small compaired to my 2x12 boxes in my boot
my ideal boot build should fit knowing how much space can be made, with the false floor do you get alot of heat from the amp, i have considdered the false floor then fibreglass on top (subs)but heat being my main concern as i will eventually have 4 amps in there
door cards are really that easy
