koolade27's 1989 Chevrolet Camaro Manteno, IL Customized with Alpine Head Unit, MTX Audio Amplifier, Precision Power Sound Processor, MTX Audio Speakers, MTX Audio Tweeters, Rockford Fosgate Subwoofers, K&N Intake, Grant Steering Wheel, Phoenix Gold Wiring - 1The box is made of two layers of 3/4" fibercore Oak, sealed throughout with two tubes of liquid nails, and held together with over 250 screws. The inside of the box is braced vertically and diagonally and the entire inside of the box has been sprayed with an entire can of Stinger Noise Killer. Then I used a 1/2" Bolt and bolted the box to the bottom of the car. The box is absolutly dead and there is no resonance at all. The sound quality I gained from switching from my old box to this new one is unbeleivable. One of the cleanest 12" subs I have ever heard sealed. It will get loud enough that most people think I have two before they see it.

Kinda messy, but that's the way it goes. You can see one of the vertical braces in this pic, and the panels before i carpeted them.

I did alot of sanding and filing to make sure all the angles sat flush against eachother.

I inverted the sub to show off the chrome magnet on this bad boy. This is a really classy looking sub. I used RF Whitewolf 11 gauge speaker wire for the sub. I was impressed by the strand count in that wire.

The amp rack sits flush against the angle of the gastank. Everything was a very tight fit.

It's hard to see but I re-carpeted all the side panels in the trunk and the carpet over the gas tank hump to match the system carpeting. I also mounted an Alpine credit card style remote next to the light against the back panel for when I'm playing with the xover settings or setting the gains.
