Default Finally got the box wrapped up.
What do you guys think? It's a box I made, and wrapped myself. It's got a charcoal colored suede on it, and I know there's wrinkles =/



Jeez that thing needs a wash...

my mama always said if you dont have 'nothing nice to say, dont say 'nothing at all


however, get some tint or hide that thing cuz you're practically advertising $2-300 in stereo equipment just sitting there

Well, yea. I'm 17. And it was a first time go at it. I'm getting a stealth box in the stupid cubby after it warms back up and I can make it in my garage. And it's going to have a Rockford 10 in it... I know Sony's suck. But this way if it gets stolen I'm not going to be too upset. I'd be pissed if a $300 RF got stolen... a $75 sony + amp off craigslist, not so much.

Yes which falls into that "you gotta pay to play" catagory... This meaningful enough?
T-tops slide in the slot infront of the box...
