i have a few pics from my phone....i actually put them in another thread already...but i dont remember which one...so ill just put em on here....it def took some trial and error....but its actually very punchy, clear, and loud...

i havent finished it off yet...waiting for the components to arrive...ill be mounting them as rear coaxials...but still using the crossover...so ill put them with the amps...and then finish it off with a carpeted piece of wood...so all you see is the amp faces and the subs....if i had to guess volume wise its probably around 140 db...at least when its up a good bit...i actually barely used the bass boost on the amp...so i know the subs could handle more power...it just inst necessary...haha

i must be getting old to admit that.

anyways. the subs i have are older mtx 7500...they are quite deep...so to keep the box from being to tall i ended up building a common air box....i know the hit could probably be a bit cleaner...but its really clean as is....so i actually dont mind a common air box for once...im pretty picky. haha

anyways. here are the pics....once i finish it up ill post a few more....i may actually change to 2 or 0 gauge to from the battery to the 5 farad cap (i strongly suggest you get a cap) ill also be adding a yellow top optima battery soon too. anyways. i have 4 gauge run back to the cap...it was actually getting hot enough to melt the solder on the inside of the barrel fuses....so i just switched out to a circuit breaker...

enjoy....

oh yeah...this box is just about 1.5 cubic feet...i resined the inside after nailing it together to strengthen it a bit
