Thanks. I was was going for that old Peavey Amp look, I believe that was the company. It's made of 3/4 MDF. I sealed it with a laquer based sanding sealer, put on 3 coats of filler primer and 3 coats of the purple base. All rustoleum 2x paint + primer. Then used the brush on to splatter. It took me 3 days to get up the nerve to do the splatter. Hahahaha
 
I did a black and white splatter paint box for a sundown 15 awhile back with an aeroport. I’ve always liked the look of splatter. I tried to talk him into color like yours, but he insisted on black and white. I tried to do a biohazard symbol with uranium green splatter and runs on top of dark grey, but I couldn’t talk him into it. Nice looking box you have.

Came out nice.
 
Looks great. (y)

First box I built was back in like 1999 for a pair of Rockford 8’s and it looked horrible, but I was like 13 and just wanted a box, lol. I built a bunch of boxes over the years, but never wanted to spend money on paint or carpet, so they never looked cool, always wanted to, but never did.

Yea..I think I built one back in high school out of an old fiberboard cabinet. Was hand banged together with some roofing nails. I threw a couple 6x9 in it and I thought I was doing big business. HaHa. Oh the old days!!! They definitely make me laugh. But this was my first real box. I can't wait to build another one. I want to build one with plexiglass windows and kerfed port. I like the looks of them Gatley makes some serious boxes. I would love to have a business making sub enclosures and speaker pods.

It's always leaned that direction. Not sure how cheap you can really get anything done these days. Deadening and custom mounting...

Did you try the red on both sides, then the white on both sides. It may be a bad cable.

"I don't have any crossovers" You'll need one to filter out the low frequencies leading to your sub woofer. They'll produce no sound then...
