Nope. 3hp regular TI. I had a pair of them in that box each with 1.5 cubes individually chambered. The second hole wasn't cut out of the carpet there in that pic yet.

And that side in the pic had the seams in it.

This was my first. Came out pretty good. It's all in taking your time, not being in a rush.

^^^Pretty **** clean for a first carpet job. Nice work.

wow.. i feel noob. my first carpet was disaster... then again it was on a 37x30x14 box...

 

[geowick07 10+ year member]

I think mine was 26 x 15 x 15, or close to that. Thanks for the compliments.

Like I said, I just took my time, and didn't rush things. Came out pretty good.

My first pair of subs when I was 17. Built the box to fit behind the seats of my Jeep Wrangler, top is 3" narrower than the bottom.

First ever box/carpeting job/sub, etc.

Looked OK from the front, not so pretty from the side. The flash made it look worse than it was though.

Just make sure you have a SHARP blade when you cut it and you won't end up looking like mine did.

thats how mine looks. maybe a bit worse. one side has glue on the carpet because i did it outside and the wind blew the glued flap on the side and ****ed it up. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

oh well.
