Ive built literally 45 normal, plain boxes over the past 2 months i havent posted anything on here. its been getting kinda boring. so i had to express the creativity.....

The car: 1998 Firebird

The sub: 12" Fi SSD (one i sold from my yukon)

The Amps: 2x Kenwood KAC-8105D

The Wire: Knu Konceptz 4awg KLMX

Batts (soon to be Kinetik HC600)

The car acually came to me in hopes of getting just a normal carpeted box. But i talked him into letting me go nuts becasue if i was going to be doin all the angles gettin that thing down in the well i mtie as well make it fancy. Also he is a member of a major car club in central IL, so id be gettin alot of exposure.

So here we go.

here is the angle of the box. i decided on a sealed box just for cosmetic reasons. around 2 cubes. with the gloss red formica layed out it gives the hard 45 degree angles a rounded look. almost like it was kerfed haha.

Here is the basic shell. the sides are standard white formica so switch it up a little bit.

Great work as usual! Don't forget to post up the LED video. **** is so tight.

I saw it already //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
haha i gotta figure out how to get it on yuotube i tried that night and it wouldnt work. i uploaded it to FB
Yeah I think youtube is kinda specific about the format the video is in.....or maybe they were just having issues.

I felt privileged to see the pics before they were on CA, lol
