Too bad the t-line was too big. Shame, those really are enclosures built perfectly to the driver that is in it. Nothing better.
I know man. Those 6.5" subs were sick. That setup would have easily rivaled a set of 10's or 12's. All the under the seat prefabs guys are using here wouldnt stand a chance in loudness nor sound quality. That t-line i had stuck out just a bit too far.

Looks great man!

Does your seat slide all of the way back? Did you amp your speakers or just the sub? I think I'm going to go Alpine head unit and the inline Alpine amp to start off. Looking at your sound deadening I'm leaving towards doing that now. What brands did you use and how much did it cost you?

First enclosure, seat stuck out too far. Built second enclosure and it was perfect, gave me plenty of leg room but that sub malfunctioned so I sent it back and sold the replacement. Currently subless. I have an amp to my front speakers and disconnected the rear speakers. Rear speakers mess up the front stage so i never run rear. The front speakers are a component set. Mids are in the doors and tweeters high up on sail panels. Clean,clear, with tons of midbass. Going to run a sub again once I decide what I want to go with. Sub amp and speaker are under the seat as well as the crossovers that come with the component set.
The Noico sound deadened was I think $69.00 on amazon. Mooch closed cell foam was about $40-50 off amazon and the mlv was I think $69 off audiomute.com

got the box done and sub installed. Sounds nice and impressed....until I turn it up. Sub starts making a popping noise. Has to be one of 2 things...either it has a bad coil(bought if from sundown audio yardsale) or I need to redo my spacer. sub stuck out from enclosure about 0.5" so I had to make a spacer for it. Gotta check to see if the seal around the spacer is holding up. Could be the reason for the popping noise. If not, coil is gone. Sucks!!!
