Car: 1989 Trans-Am GTA Engine: Yes, it's got one Transmission: Yes, one of those too!! | Here's mine. I've finished making the box, but not got the money to buy a sub and amp yet.
I'm gonna put a single Alpine 10" Type-R in there, not too fussed about having massive bass, just enough to add some low notes.
The sub is mounted below the perspex screen and the inside of the box will be lit up by some sort of red light, to match the red cooling fans.

Car: 2000 Trans Am WS6 (Black) Engine: LS1 Transmission: 4L60E | uh oh! design flaw!!! looks like you built this so you can lay your t-top bag over it... only problem is that will directly block those cooling fans!
try putting some spacers around the fan holes to lift the bag up enough to allow airflow.
otherwise... that's one hell of a box |

It was awsome. enjoy

Car: 2000 Trans Am WS6 (Black) Engine: LS1 Transmission: 4L60E | Crazy, I love the contrast of your setup.... but it was crying, "steal me! steal me!"
maybe next time make it a cherry-colored, or black box? |

Car: 2002 SS Engine: Ls1 Transmission: T56 Axle/Gears: 3:42 posi | Yeah i tried to tie in the color of my paint with it, and actually in person it was an eye catcher. Night pics are weird. everything was cut as 1 peice so it all fit together. Like the front was 1 peice, the top was 1 peice, and the back was 1 peice. It took me awhile to get everything to line up customly flush. Heres a pic to show, i kinda miss it but it was going to weigh me down a good bit. |

| Damn dude...that's gotta be stomach turning! Ppl have NO respect for another person's things. Buncha haters and broke @$$ fuks out there man...Gotta watch it at all times and always hide your setup if you can. Don't go in messed up neighborhoods or around ppl that look suspicious either. Also, might be someone you know! Good luck on the new stuff! |

Car: Camaro RS 1989 Engine: 383 Holley 950 TBI Transmission: TK0-600 Axle/Gears: BW | I’m very glad that you like it. BTW: It’s not finish yet. All plastic pieces will be covered by yellow leather soon I hope $$$
ScrapMaker: Well it was not easy to put the sub in place. I’ve spend lots of time on details; however I'm very glad to obtain the goal. The subs are very easy removable (under them there is place for amps, tools, etc). The airspace so not so big, but with close hatch bass effect is amazing! The only problem is that I had to change the phases of one sub in order to get rid of "silent wave" effect due subs position against each other.
Saigon_Bob: When the Haich is closed subs are almost unvisible that’s another advantage |
