Default Custom box for the Z

Well after about a week of working on it a couple hours every night its almost done. We just need to re-carpet the back panel by the sub and I plan on putting vinyl on the amp rack monday. The system blows away the stock bose system.

JL 500/1 amp
JL VR650-CSi (front)
JL VR650-CXi (back)
JL 300/4 amp
Pioneer premier DEH-P880PRS (ipod adapter + pac)

LOOKS AWESOME. Very Stock-like!

Do the amps have any heat issues in that setup?

Super clean. Really like the install. How many cubic ft were you able to get out of that enclosure?

Well I just finished with the vinyl cover. Looks 100% better then the carpet did. Ill get some pics up tommarow in the daylight. space wise the box is 1.85 C.F. The setup is just a square box with a small amp rack thats hidden, and the cover you see over the rack and amps. Then the small cover up front. I wanted something that would hide all the wires from the amps, yet have the amps in view still. Overall it turned out much better then expected. Yes I could of bought a box but I didnt want it to be like every other Z box. In the end it cost me $12 wood, $25 fiberglass, $20 carpet/vinyl, and misc. screws/glue etc. Not bad for the little bit of time involved. Now I just need to get the windows tinted
