It says the file is inaccessible. Host your images on a site that doesn't require people to sign up and people will probably look at them.

Is that a prefab box that you have built a shroud around? looks good how you've got it trimmed to fit nice. Most people do not do this extra step. I've heard that baby seats give an extra 3db of output but rattle bad as well.

No, you only get the extra 3db if you use DUAL baby seats. posted_image

Forbidden, No, I built the box as well as the surround. I am just taking a few extra steps to make everything look as professional as possable.

Dyhon, there is another baby seat next to that one, well, the base at least! LOL.

You can just click on one link and float through the other pics that are in the folder. There are also pictures of the box after it was done.

What are you looking for in the way of opinions, just how it looks? If thats the case then I say the box looks very good and fits nicely. Wiring leaves something to be desired though :)

Wiring isn't even close to being done yet. I have to replace all of the rca's and am going to add a rear mount crossove unit and eq setup eventually. The amps will be mounted to the front of the surround with the distrabution block reccessed into the surround and covered by plexiglass. I just wanted a few opinions as to the look of the box and surround as I am just an amature and professional opinions are worth alot to me. Now I can move forward! LOL
