I threw this together the other week, tired of not having any bumps.







I'll get some shots of it in the truck soon.

For sealed that's pretty pimp. I'd personally relocate the terminals to out of sight.. furthermore I'd use binding posts instead. They cost more, but they offer NO flex point in the enclosure wall...

As far as locating the terminals out of sight, it fits my extended cab like a glove so I wouldn't be able to acess them anywhere else but on the top of the box. I used those terminals because I had them laying around. Would using binding posts really make a difference?

Terminals are made of thin plastic. Thin plastic flexes. Flexing wall of enclosure = cancellation. Terminals have less contact area for continuity. In this case binding posts >>>>>>> terminals :)

Didn't have enough air space to port it, or I would have. With the subs installed there's only like .76 cu. ft. per sub.

Looks good. What kind of wood is that made of? I see it used on tv all the time but never knew what it was called.
