Kudos if you made all of those cuts with the jigsaw you're using in one of the pictures. Why the random hole in the bottom of the box?

nice work. i had planned on something similar, although higher at the rear where the woofers are and flush to the rear seats, but am going to try to port my 12's, starting that box today or tomorrow.

do you know what year those w6's are? i had a pair of w6 12's from 98 or 99, and they the nicest lower power speakers i've ever owned. had an old school punch 250 on them and it wanged in my old camaro.

the hole in the bottom is for the very bottom of the well so i could get all the air i could out of it i made a piece to fit in the very bottom then i laid a plate across it and cut a hole in it and screwed it together.
----------
i have no idea what year they are but my 15's are 10-12 years old and i have a set of 12 w-6's taht are over 11 years old
----------
yea i made that box all with a jigsaw i felt more comfortable using it.

What amp are you getting? I bet a 1000/1 would sound very good.

Holy moly! Good job on that box, looks clean.

I have 12s in my camaro, good enough for me. I don't think 15s would like to play rock/metal very much lol

nice vid. i've got my sealed box and 12's out of the car now while i build the ported box, but i should be done with it in about a week.

expect videos, its gonna be brutal. should be louder than any non walled f-body i've personally seen.

these, with 2200 watts rms on the pair. even sealed, its enough to drop my rear view mirror and knocks my radar detector off the windshield as soon as i turn it up, jumps your vision about a 1/4 inch, sets off sensitive car alarms 30 ft away, etc.

and the sound quality is amazing
