i started this project during my winterbreak, and finished the other day. its a ported 10" JLw3v2. nothing special. i'm just proud of it. it sound really good too.







it took a lot of time to get the stain just right. i must have stained and sanded it 4 time b4 getting it right. but do u guys think i should just paint it black now? lol. or carpet?

 

i say go wit carpet...but to each his own.. btw thas one Shinny Black G!

 

props dude, nice box made. i'd say carpet it as well.will almost look like factory minus the sub sticking out

 

I'd go with carpet as well, or maybe strip it and go with a nice deep walnut.

 

Just to be different, you could keep that stain finish look but just do one in dark stain that's almost black. That would be nice with the wood grain showing.

 

Yeah. I like the idea of being different, but the wood doesn't seem to fit right for some reason. Maybe if the stain was darker? Or maybe if it was an ash color? I think a dark stain on cherry would look good.

 

Your wax job is amazing. What did you use?

 

clean

 

thanks guy. yea i would have liked to have a darker stain, but i just used what i already had. if i wanted to make it darker i would have to sand it all off, (i've already taken a lot of the original wood off, so its kind thin.) i'll just keep it that way it is now, and later if i get sick of it, i'll change it somehow.

the wax i use is a secret! nah j/k its Mothers, Relections, Advanced CAR WAX. i find it pretty easy to use.

 

Definitely agreed. Now thats the way black should look!! Def continue with the staining route, very unique and a nice finish.

I'd cover it in some nice black vinyl

Did you dynomat the trunk first? Does it rattle anything? BTW.. carpet and it looks real clean!

 

I would make it cook me dinner.

 

I dislike that type of enclosure. I mean I'm a Home Depot kinda guy and one reason why i chose the G' over the BMW is the rear seat fold down. Man I lug friggin' 2x4" in my ryde everytime I go to home depot. I'd get the 4080 box over that style, which you could buy off ebay for $70.

 

nice job
