Is this like your interview?

Or did they not have a box builder at all?

Looks good, whats the volume and tuning?

the only thing i would have done different is double layer, T2s are pretty **** big subs, you wouldnt expect it until you saw one

but that will do fine since its not too big

looks good though

had this happen to me bro! turned out one of the worst experiences of my life! like previously stated i love building the enclosure's at a nice steady pace take a break take a shit eat sum food etc. when building for this shop it sucked. it was enclosure after enclsoure. not my design. built boxes i knew would sound like shit but had to build them anyway with no lip. hopefully this is a good break for you bro! gl and the build is looking good here bro. also will this be double baffle? thoze subs are kinda heavy.

No flared port? I'd think that would've been nice to show off your skills a little.

nice work,well thought out.

That is what I really like about the shop where I work.

I am THE box guy...if I think it won't work, it doesn't get built. (unless I am playing around w/ new designs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif )

I go out to each car, measure, see the subs/amps, take it all into account and build to fit the customers needs.

We are the little guys in town...only 2 installers, me and Nick.

Looks good. But the "window" brace should have looked like a window with a "+" in the middle. The way you did it with a big opening cut out adds very little strength...
