Default Got bored!!! Running out of upgrades

Well I sold my JL set up in my trunk, (shown below) Felt a huge difference in power due to the weight of all the equipment and wood, plus not to mention way to much bass (if that makes sense)

But then I got bored and had a friend start building something simple, yet clean. And, still the luxury OEM look!!

Honestly, i dont think an aftermarket sub even belongs in a gs with custom design. If u was to replace the stock one with a good after market one that would be awesome. But definatly its nice work.

Once the box is wrapped in the original leather from the arm rest, the finished product will look great as I envisioned it before the process began.

Thanks for the feed back!!

No actually going from 2 12w3's to just one 8w3"... heard it today and sounds real clean, not boomy like the 12s but tight accurate bass. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great thing is that I have full access to the trunk again, plus someone, if needed, can still seat in the middle, granted they are ok with a decent back massage.

Great looking work. I found that a single 10" in a sealed enclosure is more than enough for me in my GS. What are you using for processing???
