The top of the box is 3/4 mdf, with the sub recessed in the center, and the edges tapered out. Carpet is standard box carpet, but I hope to order color matching Vette carpet later. I had the amps left over from other projects, I'll replace them when budget allows.



I ran 2 conductor 6ga back to the amps and over to the alt. All components got 2 wires, so no chassis grounds used.
