Single capable amp needed to push 2 12" bone crushers.

I did not round my edges... I barely sanded the port entry and exit just enough to take away the sharp edges on my box...

Is there a Stretegic reason for not carpeting you box?

Strategic?... LOL!.. no, I've got 4 interchangeable enclosures at this moment... making it look good is not high on my list of priorities... as long as it gets loud I'm happy...

Thought I'd just ask cause I see it's common to paint them in America I'v never seen that here it's always upholstered.

Just mock it up first as the Torres measurements may not make sense at first... use the "physical port length" to tell you how long to make the actual port wall... and it's this one... OK?

Good luck...

I painted mine also. But have carpeted in the past.

Bad thing about mdf is it soaks up a lot of primer....need quite a bit of it so the paint stays on.

On the flip side paint is really really expensive here.. Carpet is dirt cheap so is adhesive.

Vinyl is one of the most difficult materials to work with. I've never tried it, but have seen people do it like it's nothing. It has to be streched while glued and stapled down to look good. Curves/angles are the most difficult.

I've never had a loose amp or box in my vehicle... bolted, bracketed or even strapped in... one accident and you got a 100 lb projectile... NOT good

I work alone.. Tryna pick that box up wrapped in vinyl is a risk for me. I like it it looks good but eh.l cnt afford to stuff up off a slip.

What you mean slip?

When handling with hands. Putting that thing in a hatchback is a mission on its own for me.
