Default Let's see your sub boxes!

I'm getting ready to install a sub box but wanted to see the fit and finish of various vendors boxes.

Post up some pics of your sub box, who made it and your opinion of it.

Also where do you put your amp?

Thanks!

Not the best pic, but a single 12 has been plenty for my needs.

It is, I don't put the hard cover on but I do let the cargo mat lay on the top, helps protect and hide it.
What you don't see is a spacer I made out of hard foam to give it about 1 1/2 inches of space to breath.

I've gone back and forth on whether to install a couple amps, some coax's and a sub. I have plenty of stereo stuff from mild to wild, but the idea of adding the extra weight bothers me.

Hell, right now I have to crank up the volume (stock bose) to try to make out what song is playing. My full exhaust w b&b bullets is loud and droney. Couldn't imagine the guys that run straights.

JL 6w3 coupled with 6.5" c2 separates in the doors and a phoenix gold tantrum 400.4 running it all

sub box weighs less than 3lbs and is made out of pine. i really wanted to keep the weight down but add a little rear fill. with cabin gain i'm nearly flat to 40hz. isn't the loudest system but it's light and sounds decent
