What I did this weekend...
OK, So I finally finished my subwoofer enclosure. After a day and a half of measuring, cutting, cussing, and thinking I dont really need bass...I almost gave up lol. I got it done. I should have taken pics of the building process, but didnt. I have zero experience with subwoofer instalation, but Im pretty proud of my work. It sounds great too! What do you guys think?

why would it over heat? the amps are getting more air than they would under the seats like I had them originally.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Quality work man! I like how its tucked into the back there so if you have a passenger, they can still have room. I'm going to have to save these pictures if I ever do something with mine. Really nice install.

Oh, no reason besides the fact that they are almost completely enclosed inside an isulated wooden box. I built something similar to that for a friend once and it overheated in the summer. I added a 35mm computer fan to the side and it worked pretty well. Looks like you have room for one on the right hand side and it would be hidden.

It wouldn't hurt anything to have it either.
