I really should get some of those 90* clamps for my projects.
I just forget to look for them when I am out tool shopping
Those clamps would make a few things easier....time for a quick stop at HD again......

That's me! I'm not use to the wood ... neither are people when I open up my trunk at work so I figure what the heck, lets try a little black.

For budget concerns, 1 15" Kicker L7
I say budget concers because I actually own 2, but I've only been able to run 1 because my current setup is 1 alright amp to the 1 sub. If I wanted to install the second, I'd need to install the second amp (I own) and the runs of wiring and at that point, I'm not sure if anything else would go (I have a stock battery, stock alternator and no cap ... I worry).
Maybe that's a conversation I'll have to have with you some time lol

not sure if its a good idea to just spray paint on raw wood. you'd wanna prime it with something or resin it first. moisture + mdf can be bad.

good job on the box, looks clean.
