looks good.clean too.

 

[paranoidTSi]

looks fine to me, looks like two eyes and a happy face.

definitely a DIY job, no doubting that. I wouldn't necessarily say it looks "bad" though. Making the fabric tight in the amp recess would make it look much better.

Is that the Fosgate 200S? If it is im gonna be picking one of them up tomorrow on ebay for my 1 12" Memhis I like the setup looks alot better then the uncarpeted crap i usually come up with

any custom work is progress, it is the only way you learn. saying that it does not look like crap. it is a little on the big side and the carpet job could be nicer, but if it serves the purpose you want, then that's all that counts

 

[WHite97RS]

Well thanks guys, its the 400S amp for whomever asked, and yeah i know the carpet could be better but this was my first attempt, and it was all i could think of without losing my spare tire. Thanks for the compliments and the constructive criticism.

Fosgate amps ROCK! What kinda subs are those?

 

[DevilSperm]

aim those subs towards the back and youll hit twice as hard

I think it looks like a face, too. Two eyes and a mouth with teeth.

 

[blcknspo0ln]

kinda scary lookin if you ask me

but it looks good for a first time job

 

[WHite97RS]

They are MTX Blue thunder 10s but i blew one a couple days ago so im gonna get the alpine type s or some polk momos

 

[93 Talon Boy]

looks alright for a homemade thing...maybe tighten the fabric onround the box better, but its not too bad.

 

[90talon_Casum]

i think it looks good, and considering that the "worst" looking part to me- the carpet- the only place where that really looks bad is where your seats will be covering up.

 

[Mike1992]

Blue Thunder's are like bottom line of the MTX is say go for something that will work with your amp a lil better. Mybae some Kicker Comp VR's, or something

yep... its the truth! and the new mtx 7500's will do plenty of justice for that amp

aim those subs towards the back and youll hit twice as hard

really? i always aimed up & had great luck. not sure if i've ever had them facing back in my car. however, my setup would be hard to change around without major resconstruction. (see my webpage for why it would be hard to change) anyone with a box easy enough to move around in different directions, please do so and post the results.

as for the box, it's a DIY thing, but not BAD per say. however, that little board on the front needs to be recarpeted as well. wrap it around to the back & staple it. i can see the wood showing around the edges i think

 

[WHite97RS]

Its cardboard not wood but the whole box isnt obviously just that lil flap, oh and found out my sub wasnt blown so im stickin with my bottom of the line subs, cause one i already have em, two nothing is wrong with them, and three im using the money i was gonna use to buy subs to go toward paint and a buddy club 2 kit

 

[DevilSperm]

yeah man trust me, you wont believe the difference by pointing subs towards the back, its nuts

 

[SoilentGreen98]

Looks good to me. Not a fan of anything MTX though but I'm told the older lines, like the ones you have, are supposed to be pretty good.

A little better quality carpet and a little more time spent smoothing it out as you lay it will make a major difference in appearance.

Try overlapping the fabric when you have an edge and then cutting with a SHARP single or double edged razor, this way the carpet will match up to itself perfectly and appear to be one piece.

On your recess if you are having problems getting it to lay in nice and tight, remember that it can be stapled. You might want to use some quarter round along the inside edge to give it a nice straight edge nad it will also give you a place to hide your seams, use one solid piece for the inside, ending at the quarter round and then wrap the face covering around the quarter round. just a suggestion.

Finally make sure you have used liquid nails all around the inside on every single seam, and if not too late use a ring for mounting the subs (the extra thickness will help with durability).

All in all though I will give a 9.5 for effort (darn west german judge) and a 7.8 for appearance (french judge was bribed).

Anyway...
