How much time do you spend in a day trolling a section of the forum you obviously don't care to be in?
If you're that offended by the rattlebox cars, you should realize everyone in this forum hates them as much as you do. Try listening to Mozart in say... I forget who has the focals..boilerupxfire I think?

Anywho, listen to Mozart in his car. Alternatively, mine, they're not focals but a set of kicker QS components with some 6.5" coaxials for backfill and 2 10" subs sounds beautiful. Before you say anything about my hearing, I'm a translator, my hearing goes, so does my money, I get a yearly hearing test, and attempting to pick up on a 18kHz - 20kHz testtone sweep has only gotten easier as my ears get attuned to it.

You're not furthering the discussion at all.

Now back to me being on topic:

I'll take a few pics of my box when I get the plexiglass done, but long story short I wanted to be able to leave the interior in the car...for now in case I wanted to sell it. So I simply built a ported box for 2 10's that miraculously fit through the hatch, then two mdf trim panels with enough clearance to fit over the subs, vinyl it, apply some steel braces so she doesn't rattle, and a plexiglass standup piece in the middle of the trunk with my c-r-o-s-s-f-i-r-e letters from the de-badging. backlit of course

I'll take some pics later this week, someone remind me.

Notes about working with vinyl:

It's easy if it's going over MDF, just make sure you're cutting things that need to be cut , and in circle areas (for the subs for example) don't remove ANYTHING, simply start cutting radii out from the center point, stretch, staple, repeat. Trim the excess last. if you're mounting anything FLUSH with them, then cut much smaller than what you want out from the hole in the MDF, so you can get a snug fit.

PS - Viva lé Chopin.
