I don't know. hard decision. either a Z-28 logo or a bow-tie, both would look good I think.

umm.. if you cut out 3 holes to a perfect 10" sub fitting, why didnt you just plan on putting in 3 10" subs? ... just curious to know why even bother with the middle hole when you were making it

how about a neon behind it and etch the z28 logo not hard to do.
just copy the logo tape it to the back of the glass. and use a scribe to etch the area you wand to darken. then if you want to get real custom find a print shop that sells rubber ink fill in the etching let sit 20-30 min then clean it is guarenteed to look great

thanks for the replys i put the plexi glass in the middle because like someone said there will be a neon in the box and i really wanted a plexi glass in the center. at this point i cant put a speaker in the center even if i wanted to, i designed it so the speakers would be flush fith the box. anyway i have been fooling around with some ideas i made this vinal decal last night but i dont know if i like it or not. what u guys think? its vinal so i can take it off. im thinking of putting the bowtie in the center.

Maybe you should put a few fish in that center hole. That's a sweet looking box man. I think you should hide a neon in there and let the light glow through the center hole.

Wow, that box looks amazing! I'll pay ya to make me one with 2 12"s

I'd say either a white or red bowtie, depending on your interior and car color.

kinda looks like a single-chambered box...

is it? I always hate boxes like that, because it's a pain to set your gains right unless you are using a monoblock amp...

Put a dj's turntable in it. Some multi colored led lighting that pulses with the music. Then put a reflective disc, maybe some polished diamond plate, on the turntable. Have it switchable so you can make it spin at will.
