This is a temp. setup for the amp. When I get my wire in and installed it will look all clean.

Did you just caulk the holes for the speaker wire on the inside? I made a couple poor boy binding posts with bolts and washers,and just use crimp rings for easy removal..

When everything is said and done I will have something similar to what you have, using some bolts to wire it up. But no I didn't caulk it, the 8g wire is just over 1/4" so I drilled a 1/4" hole and then wiggled the drill around a little bit and the wire fits very snug. No noticeable air leaks. However I did notice I have a slight air leak on the inside of one of my port pieces so I'm going to have to seal that up. I bought a thing of liquid nails a couple weeks ago but I have no clue where it ended up, which kinda ***** lol

How much power was he running? I might spray paint the bolts and stuff black, but keep one side of the washers untouched so only those are conductors.

I would have taken your snow over the 4 inches of rain we got yesterday. I still have to work in the rain,but not the snow.

And you weren't kidding about how gigantic that box is. My back hurts just looking at it.

that box is HUGE!!!

I cannot understand how people run 2 - 18's in a Hatch.

When the JL 18w6 deal came out I thought about it, then I did some math and said no way would that work right in my trunk.

Everything is looking good. I wouldn't worry about those bolts, no way they will get hot.

The guy who said his friends bolt got so hot they blacken the MDF, I call BS
