Hi Bill, what kind of vehicle is this going into? How much room do you have to work with? Do you want to mount other components in or on this enclosure? What other components will you be using? Since you have mirrors and neon, will you be using plexiglass?........ With a little more info, I'm sure we can come up with a gazillion ideas. Let us know.

alright heres what i got

K35i crossover remote gain , US acoustics amp (Fire and Ice model w/neon blue , two channel factory specs show 840w but redid the circuit board and changed out old channels now running 1200w, two 12 L7's 4 ohm DVC's 750 rms, And all going into 1985 honda prelude vtech(new engine)

Space i have to work with is Depth at bottom 18"-22" Top Depth at 16-20", width 36", and a heigth of 14.75 "

I am using two neon tubes, one per chamber, mirrors on all the interior surfaces except the back where i will use a piece or two pieces of either .5 or .75 thickness plexiglass. If i decide to use plexi on the face of the box wondering if the spL will cause box scruture to fail, and i will be using 3/4" mdf, (medium density fiber board)

As far as the other components go i am going to use a false floor in the trunk to mount components, also applying the mirror image or theme of the glass and the neon blue tubes.

Hi Bill, it sounds like you already have an idea you're going to run with though you didn't mention what you're using for a head unit and speakers up front. I'd use the ¾" plexiglass if you can for rigidity. Let us know when you get it together and when you do, post some pics, but keep them under 450 pixels wide please.

Hey i was just looking for some ideas that might make this job a little more awesome in sound and appearance. Head unit is on its way its a Clarion Pro Audio model DXZ825 and not sure what i want to run for the rest front door has factory 4 inch but when i get time i want to custom make some kick pods and use a 5 1/2 with tweeters, factory settings for rear are 6 or 6.5 not sure but i am spending some hard earned cash on this and want to prevent as many problems as i can looking at a kicker amp today might go with the KX600.4 150x4 @ 2ohm. got any ideas on the rest of the setup post it i will get back later with ya. I will be sure to post the pics asap thanks for your help 12volt.
