you'll have to copy & paste all of these, but this is how I made my first set:

Since i have no airspace behind them, this year I'm planning to make a mold of them, and redo them from the mold. That way they'll be hollow and I can control how much airspace they have. I might start selling them if I'm happy with the mold too.

thanx for the compliment 87z28.
those look good to. im not doing tweets that low. mine should have enough airspace from what im told. one of my freinds does this stuff for aliving and he just told me what to do. i like how you covered them,im painting mine, same way i did some interior parts....next will be one enclosure for the back.

there is a pic of my old kicks around here, but this is more of an updated pic. I have 3-way components up front, so i chose to put the tweeter and mid in the kicks while putting the midbass in the doors. when i get around to doing the 4th gen interior swap, hopefully my setup will be a bit more stealth and have more stuff in the doors (not as nice of a sound stage, but less theif-friendly ).
