Now with night pics of Neons - My Trunk Progress
Not sure why the pic didn't work the first time, but -

So far so good. Got the top piece cut this weekend. Now, I just need to carpet it up, make the plexiglass JL in the bottom piece, wire up some neon and it be done. I'm not sure how it effected the sound just yet, I haven't had a chance to cut out the port in the box. I'll be posting progress.

Fun fact - I stapled posterboard to the wood, covered it in play-doh and used that to make the imprint of the woofer so I could cut the hole exact.

It only looks that way because of two things. 1. The drivers are a tiny bit lower than I would like, but the box was built first, the trunk plans were an afterthought. 2. They are not nearly as low as they look. I took the picture from a top-down angle.

what exactly is going to rattle?? Surely you don't mean all the MDF that will be securely bolted to the trunk.

Nope, I got 2 10W6V2s. I'm not crazy on huge overpowering bass. I just like nice tight, accurate bass.

I think the woofers are very nice looking. I love the outer rings too. Very sharp. Sound incredible too. Couldn't refuse getting both for $350 either - friend on accomodation.

Not sure, I'd have to do some measuring. The autofab is a little thick though, I'm not sure how good it'll make corners, it doesn't seem as stretchy as typical box carpetting.

Yeah, a couple things. First, I promise they aren't quite as low as they appear from that angle. THere is a couple of inches of space below them. Second, because the trunk wall was afterthought. The box was designed well before hand. Thanks though
