It's better than mine!

Um, the metal surrounds on the perspex takes away from it a little.

The main problem is that the perspex section is huge, while you have a tiny 4ch? amp in there. It looks a little empty.

On a personal note, I would have sound-deadened the bootlid and mounted the coaxials in/on the bootlid. If you put stuff in the boot, you will find they will cop a hiding. A mate broke his grilles within a couple of weeks.

Otherwise, it's all nice.

Hide the wires.

Maybe carpet over the metal and make it a bit neater / So the box looks a bit smaller.

If you cant see any sidewalls it would look mad.

Fill up those holes there too and try to have wires running to the bottom where they arent seen.

Mount the coaxials in a fibreglass pod if ur up for it.

And one more trick... Although I cant see what it looks like with the carpet on, lay carpet behind the openings in ur false wall where the hinges go, that way they will push back when the boot is closed, and look solid when the boot is open.

hmmm..definately hide the wires and get rid of the aluminium strips on teh glass/perspex!

I found a cool trick with holding glass without that when i did my install. You'd need a router tho... But yeah, find a piece of wood, cut out a frame, and router out the aprox size of glass you want on the panel. Fill the gaps up with silicon/liquid nails, and then screw/glue the frame you cut out under the glass and you'll be set! This sorta biscuits in the piece of glass. OH, just remember to vinyl/carpet it before you do this. Good luck.

How do the subs look inverted? I'm a fan of inverted subs, coz it gives u a slighly bigger enclosure, plus no damage to cone :) But since you have already built a box n stuff, better not change the vol....

Line the inside of the box where the amp is with white/pink fluff! lol

I like the pink.
