Sound good to me. That High Powered by Scarface punches the sh*t out of my trunk!

Finally got a chance to throw some carpet on her. Painted the port metallic gray... I like it.

That’s only my 3rd box to carpet. I hate carpeting. I’ve gotten a little better and learned something to try differently each time.

From the pics it looks like you did a much better job than I can lol.

My brain just shuts down when I try to carpet

You played one of my favorite all time songs! You should make a vid with the trunk lid closed. And yeah, that camera will have trouble picking up the bass sound bc of the mic's bandwidth.

Here’s the roof flexing. And I still haven’t adjusted my amp/HU settings for max power. I know she can handle more.

Do you prefer plywood over MDF? I like the looks of the enclosures. Just wanted to know what your thoughts are on MDF. Thanks.

13 ply ¾" Birch over MDF. High quality ¾" MDF over 5 or 6 layer Birch.

That’s my first plywood box, and I love it. Feels very solid, and super light compared to mdf. My smaller 12” Alpine mdf box feels twice as heavy! MDF is fine if you wanna save money, and it’s easy to cut and work with. But I’ll be using plywood from now on.

Personally, I’d still take the lesser ply birch over mdf. I’ll never go back to mdf.
