Yeah that was a little oversight on my part. A few too many puffs and working outside in the cold and dark. I actually was going to paint the back black, then was going to carpet, then forgot about it until I was bolting it in the car. At that point (midnight and -2c) I figured it will be mostly hidden by the box and will get redone in the spring anyway.
Thanks for the good words, means alot coming from a professional installer. Even if you do work for a big box staore LOL JK.

Thanks danyman, as soon as I get my own camera will have more pics up. Next couple of weeks.

Yuli thanks man means alot coming from you. Yeah some TF1s would be sweet in there. How would they do in 1cuft each sealed? We will have to talk in the spring as I have had my eyes on them. Same with the DDs you got for sale now, but doubt they will still be around when I finally get some cash to spend. BTW you still renting out the shop to do work in? PM me and let me know, I got some more work to do and doubt I will make it to spring befroe the urge hits and I gotta do something LOL.
Yes my name is Nick and I am a car audio addict.

Just encase you are interesting in upgrading anytime, I have a spare Memphis 16 MC1500D amp sitting in storage that matches your 3004 then you can have matching amps like me

But I might lose my mind and add it to my setup...

Thumbs up

Ok so time for an update. Thanks to BigRedGuy system is now all tuned and sounding awesome. Everyone who has heard it before and hears it again now, ask right away what I changed. They cannot believe how loud and clear it is now with no change in gear. I had certain tracks that always sounded good, they sound awesome now. Alot of stuff mostly 80's metal, I could never get to sound right, lacking bass, muddy sounding, etc. Now just about anything I play sounds great with flat EQ, and with just a little tweak even the worst sounding from before sound great now. Subs pound so much I can feel my glasses bouncing on my nose. Mids and highs are crystal clear at high volume and after a while starts to get quite painful. For around $1000 this is the loudest, cleanest system I have owned by far. Just goes to show what half decent gear installed and tuned well can do. May have just found a new basement apt, same as I pay now. But I get use of the garage to work in. So rebuild may be starting soon LOL. I'm thinking 1x 12" @ 1100rms as I have my eye on a new amp that will give me 1100rms @ 1ohm for a new sub.
So feel free to start throwing up suggestions for a good sub for that amp for me around say $500 +/-. Good daily that will get loud too. Considering Dual 2ohm 12" TF1 or DD right now. Something that doesn't need a huge box tho as the reason for a single 12 is to save space. Lets see what everyone else thinks, lots of time yet to decide so I want to get as much info as I can first.
