My guess would be the $600.00 would be a pretty good deal for that box, it looks pretty nice. With all the plexi and everything. Is he buying all the supplys also, like plexi, neons, mdf, or are you???

If you plan on racing that car, you might ask him to step down to half inch MDF, I dunno why, I could have just missed this one, but I dunno why he is using such thick MDF, especially on the bottom, on the top maybe, but even then there is no need... since he is resting it on the base of your trunk, maybe that will save you $10 or 15 bucks... If it is $600.00 even, everything included, that seems to be a pretty decent deal. Good luck bro! Looks like a sweet box. Is it plexied on the top? or are those whole just empty to free pressure? ------------- Duke Duke

600 isn't bad if it ends up comming out like that, and 1 inch mdf is pretty crazy, i don't know what kind of subs you are putting in there, 1 inch is prolly a bit much even for those w7's or whatever are in that pick, i'd do like a 1/2 or 5/8ths at the most. saves a lot of weight, ------------- Bad Boys Customs
