1 - 10" Polk GNX... loud enough for my preference (I've grown out of annoying others 5 blocks away) and nothing special but, has the home stereo bass warmth I like and doesn't occupy alot of space...

spartyon- it wasn;t my choice for the carpet but itwas on the box when i bought it. although i blew the box part in 4 spots so i am going to make a new one. i am also puttin another box that goes al the way across infront of that amp with another amp liek that but smaller in there next spring. i think its gonan pound pretty good
here's the old setup. only difference now is that the amp (ample audio a240x) is inside the back seat, along with the amp for the comps (ample audio a210x). have a ported box sorta finished....
nothing special, just a real simple easy box, dont know if im keeping the car much longer, so i didnt bother carpeting it or spending much time building it. sounds nice though

the craziest thing I could think of was rhinoliner for my box...

thanks, yah Kj is right it's vinyl with 1/2'' foam under it..... and the metal is called cheaker plate A.K.A. dimond plate aluminum. I just bought and cut everything and made it all myself.
Pro-if your buying a already built mbf box makeing your own fiberglass one will be way cheaper. but makeing your own mdf one would be the cheapest but really not too much less then a fiberglass one. The reason i built a fiberglass one was i wanted 2 12s and still not have the box higher then the hump so i could still store my ttops and the fiberglass allows you more cubic volume. All bepends on what your planing on putting in there and if you care about taking up the whole truck.
Originally posted by jcurrieirocz heres mine...its a fiberglass box i built that sits under the faceplate. thats 2 12" IMPP Pioneers.
I remember that amp! I loved mine... a Kenwood 600 629s or something like that right?
That was about 2 years ago... maybe 3 actually. 2 12" Wal*Mart Pioneers, ebay box, and that Kenwood amp. Sounded damn decent too. Ended up selling it to a guy for $300.
This is my kinda current setup. I had ported the box... and then unported it lol. I made that box out of 3/4" MDF from Home Depot in one day. Lots of wood screws and caulking! Sounds good, but I have to make a nice ported one soon. I need to get a new pic of the recovered box.

Im going to have a stereo shop build mine. Im in an apartment going to college so I dont have my tools or access to any. They dont charge too much anyway. I had them build one for my truck and its REALLY nice.
