Wow, 7 views and no positive reinforcement. Good job on your first run. MOST people, by reading alot of these forums, dont make it to the beginning it seems. You say your quite pleased with your work is good enough recongition. IF it sounds good because you payed attention to the internal volume required for those type of speakers, that its that much better. Wish you had mounted that Amp during the photos. Only thing I would not have done is mount the CD changer in this fabrication. I have done this before, and it made my CDs skip when playing at high volumes because of the tremendous vibrations, thats all. Good Job.

Looks really good especially for your first go at it. The paint seemed to finish out quite nice. What did you use for that?

Not a big fan of sony's stuff but if it sounds good enough for you thats all that matters.

Welcome to our world RangeroverUK! Are you a Ranger by military, or do you drive a Ranger? I was wondering what this enclosure set was going in.

There we go, great shot of the final install! So, how did the CD changer do? Any issues of skipping due to vibrations?
