Hey This is my boot install, plain and simple, trying to keep it looking neat but also a bit eye appealing. Its still not done yet. I have used 12mm MDF for all of what you see and i have but not pictured in the sub box put extra corners in for added strength. Will get up some more pictures once i get a wiggle on, tonight. Changed that bit of MDF on the side to a pieace of Hardwood which sits higher which does make it stronger so i can screw my sides into it. More picts to come, any Q's fire away. Ok its finally done, only have a few more internal touches to do and just have to cover the lights section as you can see i have missed out on, ran out of carpet. What you think? Oww and if anyone asks why i put the amp on its side, its because iam going to put another extinguisher there or some other thing, which i havnt thought of yet. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks great man... just two things... the sub wires are WAY to small need to be much larger speaker cable, this will be choking your power to the subs.. and definately seal off that lower section inside the box, where the curved cutout is, you will be losing ALOT of sound, punch and bass through there, it is esssentially not a sealed enclosure. otherwise i love it, well done, great skills man. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks Adictiv. I got great skills, look whos talking, what about you your amazing. Yes i was looking at those when i put the subs back in, will have to go and buy some or make some up. Thanks again im glad you like it. Another thing, as you can see theres a decent amount of space next to my amp, what can i put there, anything that may make it look a bit fantsy or preety "cool" hahaha? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

agree great job mate. definatly need to take another look at the curved cut out section in the bottom of your box. If you can seal in this section maybe from underneath will be alot better. good job.
