very nice. only things are that the amp looks a little crooked and also it seem like you have a lot of wasted space behind the box.

nice. sub looks tiny though lol.

tip - use some velcro on the sides to help the box stick to the carpet.

actually the amp isnt crooked, thats just the pics. Ive used that leveling tool (sorry for not know wtf its called) and it comes out straight. I think just the pictures make it look crooked, if you saw it person youd think it was straight.

and there really isnt any wasted space behind the box. theres alot of wires sitting on the carpet behind it. the actually sub box sits like .2 of an inch id say from the back of the trunk. and it was designed the exact same shape of the back of the trunk to save space. I had a fan mounted on that little shelf thing behind the heat sink of the amp, but i had wiring issues and i never really got around to it. I havnt had any problems with over heating, so i just left it as is. anyone need a stinger fan? it was like 30 dollars i think. lol.

Select Products has some.

http://www.selectproducts.com/site/index.php

Their website has changed, but I got the luxury one for my old box. Be warned, if you have curved such as a box made for fiberglass, be careful, the backing doesn't stretch much. If you have a regular enclosure, no need to worry. You can call them and they'll explain. They have good pricing too.

lol Levon, mine usually is too, i just cleaned it and since i did i figured id take a picture.

Up next is...
6.5 Precision Power 356cs in front doors (waiting to be shipped)
5.25 Precision Power 355cs in rear doors (in mail)
Alpine PDX 4.100 (cant find one right now!!!!)

I have around 50 sq ft of raammat bxt in the car, have another 12 sq ft siiting in the basement. In the mail is another 53 sq ft of second skin damp pro and a rattle pad. rattle pad for the rear deck. ill probably use maybe 20-35 sq ft of the damp pro, but ill have a good bit left. so if anyone needs just a little bit, let me know and ill let some go for a good price. should be around early-mid january when ill have all this new stuff installed.
