Im in the process of making a grill that will cover the sub and port so its not visible. Im basically making a rectangular frame out of MDF and glass and covering that with black carpet. It will be raised about ~4 inches away from the sub and port. Then im cutting the letters out and painting them red. The letters will go on top of the grill frame like so...this is a little chop of what its gonna look like.

Here you can see my new welder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Lincoln 135 mig kit, in the pic it had the flux core tip and wire in it. I switched it over to gas for this project thanks to the big tank full of argon/co2 that my neighbor gave me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Alrighty ^^^^ Ill be sure to head out and shoot a few after I put everything back in.

Oh and good news, I had thought I bombed out the spiders on the BTL, but they didnt suffer any more damage then they had before. Theres a small crack by the tinsels but it hasnt gotten any worse. Im just gonna bang the snot out of it for the next few weeks and then recone it.
