Looks alright, I think it would look better covered in something though than painted.

Also, is the sub in it's own sealed compartment? Or is it just one big box?

[pugsport]

sub is on its own mate the box is in two bit inside. i was going to cover it but i aint no good with carpet or wood work really so would probley be really bad

[Dargs]

Nice work dude looks good!

Similar to my new 1 :)

Forgot to add.. Will be a bitch to paint, mdf absorbs paint, you wanna fibreglass it first if your going to paint it.

[scorpiouk]

Carpet it, its very easy to do, 1 role of carpet, a crafting knife and some spray glue, so easy mate, was easier than i though :D

[pugsport]

thanks mate its take a while but its getting there lol.

i might do have to see how brave i am when it come to it lmao

i was not made to lay carpets or use wood for anything lol

Thank God for that :p I couldn't imagine how bad it would sound if it was 1 big box :eek:

You never know your no good at it until you try :p

[pugsport]

lol it seems like everyone seems to think it would look better with carpet so looks like its going to get carpet lol

[MartinR]

i think it would look a lot better painted somehow rather than carpeted everyone dose that and black and red will look pukka

what sort of power will you get from that

[pugsport]

its like 750watt rms

i think it would look good painted but me bro and every1 on here seems to think it would look better in carpet so i dont know now i think its going to have to come down to a vote lol

[MartinR]

should sound good

i cant wate to get the body work done on mine so i can start on my install

[dewtech_2008]

Your going to be left with absoultley NO boot when your finished with that.

Sure it'll sound good though!

[pugsport]

going to get a better aub and amp soon tho going to get the rockford fosgate comp stuff like 1500watt rms and 3000watt peak then there will be some real bass.

i dont need the boot for anything else mate and i was going to take the rear seat out and have it all as an install but changed my mind for the mo

[jam2008]

carpet ftw!

[pugsport]

some1 wanna tell me what FTW means lol

[dewtech_2008]

For The Win

[pugsport]

o ok lol im not used to all the internet stuff lol

[Smiler]

You can paint it (if you choose of course!). All you have to do is seal the mdf first. This can easily be achieved with a coat or two of pva glue. Once its all dry, give it a quick sand then paint as normal.

[pugsport]

ok no worrys smiler i was not worried about painting it every one seems to think it will look better with carpet on it

[Smiler]

Yeah it probably will. Plus you wont have to worry about the finish getting chipped or scratched. Only thing is you will probably loose a lot of the detail of the nice logo you made (depending on how thick the carpet is of course!).

[pugsport]

yer there is that but i was thinking if i put it in carpet i could do away with the logo i made and put a different colour bit in in the shape of the logo but that might look crap i aint sure anymore

[Smiler]

Could carpet the box and paint the existing logo in a contrasting colour (red as you mentioned). That would look cool and be a damn sight easier! :-)

[pugsport]

yer im still not sure what i wanna do with it yet if it gets carpet then i might get some1 to do it

but still not sure on colours tho

[pugsport]

now fibre glassed my boot install and started to smooth it off with filler

[pugsport]

na mate its only a punch 10" but i only paid £20 for it but will be getting a power 10" soon

[pugme]

are you sure about the power ratings then mate, my power 12's are 600 rms and are both run of a 1500rms mono block amp, either way they sound the absolute tits!

[pugsport]

yer thats the amp rms and its a 4 channel thing that im going to use to run my door speakers when i get a new sub

got the box in 1st coat primer now an all so i can see all the little holes and that in it which should get done 2moz after noon ill get some pic up soon

[pugme]

[Stevo_106]

i think it would look mint if u could carpet the box and logo seperate, black carpet on box and red carpeted logo, or even cut the logo out of plexi glass lol

does look mint tho lol

[MonzaDave]

Onto something there...maybe have some leds underneath the plexi glass to illuminate it!

[pugsport]

i thought about doing that but was not sure how to bond the plastic to the wood

[pugme]

silicone and screws matey, the silicone will stop it vibrating against the wood.

[pugsport]

not sure if its going to be worth doing as im still not sure if i like it

[pugsport]

i have worked out how im going to do the logo now

so all i need to do is find some where to get some clear plastic from

[pugsport]

just painted it in black now what you think

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii131/pugsport85/DSC00049-2.jpg

will get it back in the car at some point 2moz

[MartinR]

[pugsport]
