Looks allright.. still ghetto [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. carpet them boxes or something.. and it's cool that someone used Plywood for an enclosure...nobody uses plywood anymore.. it works just as well..

Cheers
Mohawk

I gotta agree with mohawk on this one - the bare plywood look is a bit on the ghetto side. If you are running 145db I don't think that enclosure will live very long, unless it's heavily braced inside. MDF is a far better choice for speaker boxes, its much more rigid and more durable in various temperatures/humidity levels... looks like you got a pretty sweet sounding system though - makes my 2 twelves look so puny... :-(

I liked how you installed that component set in the rear-seat area, right in the panel. That's sweet. Acoustically its probably a better place than the dreaded rear shelf (the worst place for speakers IMO).

I never said Plywood was bad.. properly braced plywood of at least 3/4" thick is plenty fine if it's good grade plywood.. most Use MDF because it's cheaper and easier to work with..
