There's a small neon that shines on it from the top of the trunk.

That clear piece is plexi with a sticker

Damn that barely fits! but is that enough airspace for 2 15's? I have my alpine 15" in a box the same size as yours! 3.4 cu ft!

VTECHGRL are you going sealed or ported? I had them first in a sealed enclosure and they sound badass. very tight and punchy. I just built this box for them roughly 2.5 cubes each tuned to 32hz and they ****...very very loud and deep. My roof flexes like a body biulder hehe. Oh I have them ran at 1 ohm with the NiNe.1 amp. Anwwayz..yea they are nice.

theyre gonna be sealed. i actually was gonna do 3, but decided on 2 for now. im running a 4100W hifonix amp for the interiors and a different brand for the bass, unless i get a alpine. they sound REALLY clear, yet loud to, thats why i like em. i dont think i know anyone else who has them or even heard of them!

no one sits in my back either, so i wasnt worried if i would have to take up some space back there. what are the dimensions of your box?

I went back to sealed about two months ago, because my bass was too loud for everything else...and I want to be able to get my spare tire if I really need to

My current box is 3 cubic feet for two subs.

I should have, but that box is now used (or was used) as a stand for my x-mas tree.

I have a sealed box now, but I used way too much glue for the carpet and it kinda bled through a lil


...my bass is very underwhelming now, but it matches up better with my fronts.
