C4 sub box/amp

I recently built the sub box/amp for a 94 ZR-1. Main focus was to keep it as compact and light as possible.
Also it was installed so that the entire box can be removed after removing 5 wires.

Amp - Depends what you select - around $100-200
Speaker - Pioneer slim line - $85 on e-bay
MDF or particle board - $30
Carpet/spray glue - $30
Electrical wires for amp, RCA connectors - $60 - 70
Labor - 12 hrs

Build you one? Where are you?
I am not a professional installer but I can send you drawings with dimensions. Are you handy with carpentry and wiring?

Someone needs to design one for a vert...very little out there about this. I think I'm one of the only ones with a workable solution to the problem of distortion with the top down..but it cuts into the space a lot.

Those pics are excellent. I own a 1996 Corvette and was wondering if you know where I can purchase a subwoofer enclosure or direct me on how to build one like you have.
