Built/Painted My Sub Box...
So I built this box a few weeks ago and it sounds AMAZING (3.0cu.ft. tuned to 33hz) but I felt I needed to spice it up a little. I didn't feel like doing carpet b/c everyone and every shop does it. I wanted to be different and I had an idea pop into my head......so I went with it! What do ya think?

It looks soo good in person as the silver paint I used has a slight metallic look to it and matches the SSM pretty well. Just need to paint up the front near the woofers and I'll pop it in and take more pics! I free-handed the "TL" while looking at a picture. Let me know what ya think

I like the design, it's different.
What kind of subs are those? It looks like it says W7 but obviously not. Are they W3s? The box looks huge but I was assuming they were 12s. Maybe not so much if they're 10s.

That's about right for 2 10's once you consider port and sub displacement.

If you are happy with it, then that is all that matters. Other than that Okie Lite Chair in the background, it looks good.
What did you paint it with - I tried to paint MDF once and it was a disaster.

OP, I really like the different look. Nothing wrong with carpeted boxes but yours looks nice.

Yeah I figured I'd try it out since I had the paint and everything. If I didn't like it then I can go get some carpet and install it over the paint. Can't decide what I want to do yet but I kinda like it in the car...although the box is a tad tall so it wont go all the way back to the seats. Leave's me hardly any trunk space.

And about the crooked look...my TL is debadged so I just google'd the TL emblem and a few were straight looking and some had a slight tilt to the bottom on the T and the L was close the same angle. I'll snap some pics in the trunk and see what you all think

Monkey, congrats on the sub-it looks good.
Guys, I might be wrong, but I think the "TL" in the '04's thru '06's is non-italisized. Trunk Monkey has an '04.

^^^ Thus his original lettering design is correct!

I'll take a few measurements but it doesn't look slanted at all in person. It might be the illusion since the top of the bottom part of the L gets smaller and might make it look slanted down slightly. Obviously, if I could get it perfect that'd be great but it's in my trunk...hardly ever open....and I don't show the car anyways lol. Just figured it be something "different" and not the same ol' same ol' carpet. Thought about putting JL on there...maybe next.
Crzy- amp is a Kicker 400.1 but I want to get something different for a little more power. If I could find something like a 600.1 or 700/750.1 that'd be good. I like to have more and keep the gains down then stress the amp.
