Carbon Fiber or Clear Plexi?
I'm building this new down-fire 8" sub enclosure. I'm having trouble deciding on the front cover plate. Originally I just made a 1/2" carbon fiber cover. My metal fab guy tells me that I should do a clear front instead. HA! I told him it was a dumb idea but guess what I did after he left?
To feed your curiosity......
- It's for a 3rd Gen TL or TL-S
- It is housing a JL Audio 8W3V2-2
- It is made of fiberglass and carbon fiber. Trunk matched carpet.
- Yes.... it beats.

I like the clear, but the CF looks way nicer

Personally, I wouldn't have a cut-out at all. Ultimate stealth status.

Just kidding..... kinda. My cohorts and I were betting on how long it would take for somebody to question why the cutout is there at all. BECAUSE... it would look damn tight to see absolutely nothing.
But... answer me this! How do you mount the box with no cutout? Or what if the cutout was not big enough to fit a drill through?
PEEP the PICS below.

I used a fellow AZ member's TL today to test fit and run the new sub and enclosure. It RAILS. I didn't push it very hard and we were listening to FM radio. It performed way better than I expected.
In the pics you'll see the cable. When installed that runs behind your carpet. Not visible at all.
Thanks again to firstacuratl for use of his ride. I had a minor relapse of TOY ENVY today. But I'm better now.
