95% done, now all i need is advice.

ok i finished everything (basically), but now i need an idea of what to do with the middle piece of my system. i am not down to spend another ~200 for another speaker. i was planning to splurge 20 on a dummy speaker from radioshaq then vinyl my name into the middle. another idea is to plexiglass it, then get a custom metallic emblem with my name on it. throw me some more ideas please... ideas like putting a fish tank in it are also welcome.

pics so you know what im talkn bout: (the plexiglass now is just temporary to hold the sound)





just incase you were wondering where my amp was:

build a new box.. a new box will only cost you like $30 for all the materials and maybe a couple hours of your time... and you can even get home depot or lowes to cut the wood for you... all you will have to do is screw and glue all the pieces together..

who said your box has to be square... and fiberglass is nothing special.. trust me i work with it all the time... ok so you are set on keeping the box.. just fiberglass over the whole and put your amp there...
