Damn dude, that looks awesome. Very clean setup. I really like that back piece with the rotors cut out of it and the raised RX-7.

Looks outstanding man! Is that a built in handle for quick removal? Do the other pieces come out easily too? Sick job!

But I literally ALWAYS look for something to improve on. Where the red and black speaker wires enter the box, how is that finished off?

Why do you have subs firing in different directions?

Is part of the enclosure plastic/vinyl?

How does that sound?

To simply show off the subs a little more. Add a little flash. When inverting one of your subwoofers, you simply reverse the polarity on the inverted sub. This will allow it to remain in phase with the others.

The box itself looks like it's mostly medium density fiberboard. Then sealed with fiberglass resin? Then it looks like the entire area was covered in vinyl.

Really well done.
