System Teaser Pics

So yesterday the weather was awesome here....finally , with more to come (Wednesday it's supposed to be in the 70's ) So I decided to finish up my trunk install. I Dynamatted the complete trunk and deck lid. I have completely removed my spare tire and flushed a chambered box into the wheel well for 2 JL Audio 12W6v2's. Sorry for the bad pics (I am not a professional photographer as some of you ) Well tell me what you guys think. Complete build and measurement time was about 4 hours and the install time was about 1 hour.

Looks clean, I like it. Did you weigh the box before you put it in? I would like to do something like this and wanted to know how much extra weight I would be adding.

The box without the subs weiged about 35lbs. I used 1/2 and 3/4 MDF board for the build. The subs is where you will really notice the difference in weight. though. The W6V2 weighs about 15lbs!

Why make the G35 logo blue when you have LR? Other than that, awesome install. I might try to do this type of box for my 13 w7.

Only 1/2"? 3/4" is recommended for anything over 8", especially for 2 subs. You are going to get substantial flexing out of the MDF

looks good, although I think you should have done something more wild since there is no way you are going to fit anything back there now. Nice and clean though

what kinda skill set is required to construct a box and dampen your car like that? it seems like a very professional job. can this be a DIY or be left to a professional installer?

doesn't take much skill at all, just a couple of tools and some time. At the minumum, you need a tablesaw, jigsaw, and a cordless drill. Then make sure you take your measurements twice, and then just test fit everything before glueing

I agree with the blue lettering not looking so hot. I also would've done something more elaborate if you're sacrificing your entire trunk.
