Whats the outside specs of that box Mike? Just curious....

I "think" 46 1/2"w x 22h x 30something deep. Plans I worked up are out in the garage and it's getting late //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Was originally 47" wide, but someone did some "mexican math" and didn't measure his vehicle properly. Martin you can raise your hand now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Of course he tells me this AFTER I designed it and cut all the panels. Luckily I didn't start assembing it yet...

I just looked at it again, Pics>my eyes this late lol. I can imagine it would have been.

If I had to do it over I would have done all Trupan and sunk the front a 1/4" and just layed in 1/4" BB panels, but apparently I like to do things the hard way...

The stain is amazing. That will be the direction I'm headed in on my next project. Thumbs up.

Just realized some way tired dumbass messed up the title, box is for sleepy_jr....guess he's not the only sleepy one.

I'm quite pleased with how the stain turned out, really brings out the grain in the wood and should match his woodgrain trim pretty well.

Can't wait to hear those 18's. Then I'll have to find room for a bigger box in my trunk....

Got the box all done and Martin picked it up tonight. Powered by a Mean Machine giving each sub around 2k. Thing is violent to say the least. His poor SUV was taking a beating, major flexing everywhere.

Only problem is my dumb ass forgot to get finished pics. He's heading to a meet tomorrow, so I'll get pics next week.

Let me put my order in for my box. Black flexstone with red stain front panel for my 2 12's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Awsome work

Nice box.

What's with the mspaint edit on the first pic?

Perhaps some sort of smoking apparatus?

No, just a little "friendly" humor between myself and sleepy....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Put a "logo" on there for him that was funny as hell.

Came out very nice and black/red would look pretty pimp in your ride. Actually red metallic front panel might be even better. Could get some factory paint, so it matches perfectly.

Got another box I'll be working on for the next few weeks, so hopefully you'll decide on subs by then and I can work something up...
