Ok guys which color to powder coat my new sub basket

Well I am having a custom sub made from psi. Gonna be a hx2 motor and fi 18" 12 spoke basket with psi soft parts. Wantin to make the sub look different so gonna powder coat the basket a cool color. I currently have high gloss white, high gloss fire red, and high gloss slime lime green. I'm gettin the F it dust cap(most of u prob dont know what that looks like but some may). So which color guys. It may or may not be seen once installed and I may sell it but who knows I may use it and invert or have a plexi panel.

Black. Black thermally radiates the best therefore is the best for a basket.

I had bright green sub baskets and I wasn't a fan, even more so when my buddy bought them and inverted them and it was a nicer color than that, i say red

With your car color, I think white makes most sense as you can add much easier cheaper stuff to accent but at least the white will flow, no?

You know how to powdercoat yourself?

Probably a good investment, one of those, huh? They must pay for themselves rather fast.
Either way, you keep or sell it, my vote is for white. Then get some blue or other color lettering stickers made of whatever audio team or whatever...will stand out and look great IMO.

green doesn't seem that bad and it mixes with the white not too bad. white will match the car thou. decisions decisions. is it gonna be inverted? or visible? b.c otherwise it seems pointless.

if ur just gonna sell it later why bother then?

Yea they are great I have modded my system a bit so its more efficient and stronger. I make pretty good side money coating and building sub boxes. Yea its white or red thinking maybe red for the rockford look but dunno.

The point is to have a fully custom sub. And since I do it why not.

Havent had a chance to send it off. I have been busy fixing the broken pressure washer i bought of cl. The guy said it worked didnt get to check it as it was raining like hell. Turns out to need a 150 water pump. SO messin with it. And setting things up to make a few bogus ads on cl with his email and # so he gets a crap ton of mails and calls. Lolz not a good thing to scam me.
