Did you but that kicker shroud for your amp or is that the grey one that came with it? Looking good though

Looks great! What did you use to secure the box? It's wierd that one pic shows a much different shade than the one opposite.

The painted amp cover looks really good.

do u have a blue LED or neon it there too...i notice that the color shades are different but there is also a blue hue on the carpet and floor. It looks really sweet man.

Since it was my first one, i've got about 40 total hours invested, but have since come up with quicker ways of doing things...Painted the amp shroud to match the box...it was the standard black & grey. The difference in color is just the difference in the way the light is hitting the angles on the enclosure. It's secured from the back with substantial "L" brackets...two to the rear deck, and 2 to the floor. There are no lights in it yet...but we're putting a neon tube under the lip of the trunk right above it where the trunk light was and we'll probably try to do some other tricky lighting. The floor has a blue hue because it's fiberglass as well and although you can't really see it in the pictures, the amp sits about 1 1/2 inches higher than the floor...just a gentle curve.
