Looks very nice. I really like the box and amp rack finish.

It's taken some time fore sure...I think the stain for the majority of the part and polyutherane the box and amp tray area took up the most part. I got some black/white speaker wire yesterday in the mail and made a small change. Out with the blue and in with the new

About time you did something ! Lol it looks really nice bud ! I should talk, I haven’t done anything yet lol ! I did order some stuff to get ready though , does that count ?

Oh trust me, I was w/o bass for a long time!! It's the way it goes sometimes. Working on multiple projects at a time, the SS amps are sold, redoing the amp rack for the new Wolfram amps, and my machine went tits up until I can buy a new switch for it. So that is on hold for now. I was working on the s10 install a little at a time in between working 2 days extra per wk. at my job.

Well it really looks nice ! And it’s probably nice to be back in bass again too ! I am still driving around without for now but the new truck does have Bose system so better than nothing but far from what I had lol

Amp doesn't get warm, btw. I wonder if it's because I'm only running the sub ch atm but that's good news. Wait until I get the front ch/comps hooked up it may start to get warm afterwords.

I ran SQubed HDS312 on it with a set of CDT Braxial 6.5 with upstage tweets,and a set of Hertz 6.5 Coax and a set of Kicker KS25 tweets  for a temp set up while I was building out my Honda, and started on my first wall in the truck.She ran warm.But I always run my amps elevated and always with an external. I later tried those Dayton HO tens/pair, did nicely

Hows that 8 pushing? seem like you have enough power or need a little more?

That 8 def want's more power. I cannot turn past 22 on my HU because I have my speakers runnning off of it atm until next yr when it warms up and then hook them up to the amp. But for now I got some bass back. Surprisingly it does sound fairly good....and that HU I have has some power it can keep up with the sub.

Of course, I can't wait until next year to get it finished up. I found a way to cut the plexi to the point where all I would have to do is size it up on my mill then drill/counterbore the bolt holes. Then I made these to replace the small ones...

Nothing like customizing.Always satisfaction in the end.Id like to get a nice router set up again by summer.Been a while since Ive used one.Time as well.

I've had my Craftsman router for several years now. Back when Sears actually gave a **** about their customers. Still works good tho.
