Criticize my new website...

Very nice web site,..a couple of suggestions.
I would remove the @caraudio from all your reference names or add more references from other sources. Having all your references from one source makes you appear "simple" or inexperienced.

You need more information on the actual process of building the box, such as tools needed and step by step instruction. The success of your business is dependent on the consumer having the confidence to tackle the build on their own.

I would be reluctant to recommend "local builders" as this connects you and your reputation to factors out of your control, if the builder screws up on the measurements or improperly seals or braces the box you and your design will get the blame.

I see what you're saying there about the builders, but I think RAM is smart enough to be very selective about who he chooses to list. I'm sure he's going to pick people with good reputations and whose work he's seen.

I wouldnt forcably tune everything to 33hz. you should fit the enclosure to the users listening/environment needs as well as to the driver..

That's what the "need a custom design" tab is for.

Some simple recommendations, make all the links to the left change color when hovering over, thats an easy change

Maybe for all the "Shop ___ boxes" make a Boxes for sale and when you hover over that box it expands to show all the makes/models (For example, hover over Shop for boxes, then hover over ford boxes, then expedition, etc)

If that doesn't make sense I'll show ya an example

That way it kind've cleans up the left menu, and with it that clean I'd even consider making the left menu a bar a the top

Can do some more help for ya if you need, I've been doing web design for quite a while

That costs money and the name was already taken. I just wanted to start with a free site(weebly.com, VERY easy to use) and see how things go before I sink money into something. If I do a .com name it'll probably be ramboxplans.com...that's a ways in the future though.

That, and I have no idea how to actually design a page, so this wysiwyg site was very helpful for this little project.

I'm pretty limited with what I can do as far as the page links go. I did want to do a general "Shop Boxes" page, that'd have a drop-down menu to go to other pages...but it doesn't allow anything like that. Since I have so many pages I have to have the links on the left, they only allow 5 links with the menu at the top.

I'm limited as to where things can and cannot go. All of my tabs need to be on the left side.

ARe you double baffling any of them? Or at least adding a 1 inch thick MDF on the mount side rather than a 3/4 inch.

No, because most people are not going to need a double baffle. Also, if you want to add one, it's very easy to just cut another piece of MDF to go on the side you want to double baffle. Or you can just contact me for a design that'll include a 1" baffle or flush baffle. But as far as double baffle being standard, I wasn't planning on it.

I know this, just saying. Cuz I wouldnt want these newbs giving hassle cuz they fucked up their boxes and attempt to put it on you. I would at least mention it so they can't say ****. Like an option. He, where you ever able you varify if that size fits in cavaliers. I have only messed with mine, I dont know if it that opening measurement is off or standard. I would assume it is, put you know sometimes **** can happen.
