Very nice but what is the recommended air space for the TW3's and how much air space does your box have?

Wow, do you have a schematic of your box? I'm really curious how you were able to get that big of a box under the rear seat.

I don't have one bc I had a shop build it but the top and sides are fiberglass to get everything available but the seat is about 53" across so it's really not hard to get 2 cu ft.

How much did the shop charge if you don't mind? My local shop here before I decided to build my own enclosure told me 350$ to start and it went up from there for Fiberglass. MDF would've been about 150$. After that, I didn't even bother to continue even thinking about it. I built my own for less than 30 bucks in materials.

It was about $800 but it is wrapped in ultra suede which is about $60-$70 a yard.

Oh but that $800 also included making the rack on the back wall for my amps and mounting them

Lots of members build custom box's.... if you can't build one yourself, or get a shop to build one for the right price, maybe another memeber would be interested in helping you out.

Wow! And I thought I was doing a "high class" job wrapping mine in 10$ a foot leather. Lol. Like I said. Sweet looking box!
