[QUOTE="1sweetSVT, post: 9155180, member: 49740"] coming from an explorer with a 3.5 cuft ported box and two 12" L7's ive always wanted to build this box since i got the lightning. .75 cubes per sub behind the seats just never cut it for me. so about a month ago i bought a seat pan and cut my stock pass seat into a bucket and recovered my driver seat with a new cover from ford my brother got me almost two years ago. i dont have that much experience working with wood/building boxes so dont rag on me too much. the design came out just how i wanted it to but since i suck at measuring and cutting wood ill have to glass the inside, wood glue wasnt enough for some of the gaps. ill glass the inside tomorrow and swing by a shop to have it wrapped in some material. im not exactly sure what im going to go with yet but i was thinking of a couple different ideas. i can go micro suede, leather, or microfiber all with an 1/4'' foam backing for a little more plush feel......either all black or all gray or black on bottom and gray on top where it slants up, what do you guys think?
