no thats just a picture of the thing I'm getting in someone elses car. I don't like how he's got the amp out like that, I'd rather remove my spare and stick it in there.

A guy from s2ki sells the boxes premade for $175 each (not bad considering I got quoted $500+ from the shops around here who do fiberglass).

dammit I caught the a/v bug again. just ordered escort 8500 w/ hardwire... need speakers, sub, amp....

We've been using a lot of JL 8W3V2's lately - the .38 cube box is PERFECT for it
