    Thanks guys. I can assure you there was no shortage of blood, sweat, and tears involved in this project. :p


    Senor, not exactly sure what you call the seat fabric... it's that textured nylon stuff. Not my favorite material ever -- gets dirty pretty easily and it's tough to clean.

    that is on heck of a build, incorporating the JBL system. :cool::cool:

    what's the max depth for the box? can you install a normal size sub in or will it bottom out?

    I honestly forget, but I think the Pioneer shallow mount has a 3" mounting depth, and it just barely fit in this box. One could fudge around the dimensions to fit a deeper sub, such as by increasing the upper depth dimension while decreasing the lower depth dimension.

    Thanks for the write up +1. I have a old kenwood 400W amp and two 10" P1 from my old truck that I was wondering what I could do with. This is a big inspiration. I might see if I can fit one of those 10's in the back now, just to give it a little more boost only because I have them. Now that I am a new responsible parent (Ha Ha) I am not really into that loud devil music any anyways :D.
