Good job dude

That looks great! I and my dad recently just finished building my sub box for 2 12" sony xplod subs. They are the year 2000 model.
I have them bumpin with a Concept cc-1002 amp feeding them 250watt RMS each. They are badass. I had my car in the garage; roughly 30-40 feet from my house; I put on Nelly #1; turned the volume to 3/4. 20/30 on my pioneer deh-p430 deck. The jiprock on the roof cracked and jiprock dust fell on my car; and apparantly my mom was getting a glass from the cupboard in the house and an ornament from ontop of the cupboard SHAKED off the cupboard and fell onto her head; leaving a nasty goose egg.
I was like sweeeeeeeeet!
Well good job dude!

well ya know those old seals leak horrible, the bags were cheaper than a new seal. I do get a strange sound when i turn up the volume, i will have to look into that.

more than likely will be adding the JBL jp300.1, this will give me no less then 300 watts rms at 2ohms. should hit pretty hard.

thanks
