Cool enclosure. I would have carpeted the outside of it though. A bit of silicone to seal the wires would be nice too.

it wasn't no joke.. when the kid and his father came in to pick up the car i was at a loss for words so to speak. i was just like . hey if you want rip everything out of the car and i'll bench test all the gear and if everything checks out you can pay us too professionally install it. so the kids like so whats the charge today? im like no charge man cause after i saw the trunk i didn't even want to touch the car

ROFL! That has to be one of the ugliest, most unsafe installs ive seen. Its one thing to have cheap equipment, but i bet that a $10 plywood enclosure and some proper instal would make that system sound 100% better.

Dude that has got to be a joke or something. I would have slapped the guy just on pricipal alone. just imagine the work put into carving up that tree and think of how long it takes to make a cheap box. Seriously this guy couldn't think of anything better to use besides a tree.

Hee hee! Part of the fun of this industry is seeing crap like that. Many many times have I opened a trunk, pulled a radio, or looked under a dash and just stood there going " WTF??? ". I have a "wall of shame" in the shop where we have some of the choicest work hanging. Scarily enough, some of it came from other "shops" that have a decent reputation.... if the customer only knew half of the stuff that I find in their cars..... yikes.Gus

I'm surprised that car didn't catch fire. That's a neat idea for a sub box, but what happens when you take a turn too hard?

Thanks alot, now I have that damn Ren and Stimpy song in my head too! Wonder if there is enough slack in the wires to the amp, to allow it to fly off the back seat and wack the driver in the head real good, when he comes to a fast stop.
