Nice subs ape! Check out the link on my sig (the gafoto one) and go to the Hummer H2 to see how I did my speakers. I make a plastic box in the correct shape out of packaging and glue then I wrap it with a thin wool fabric (same stuff as the carpeting), For the speaker itself I take a dime or whatever coin is the right size. Paint it flat black, get some nylon window screen, paint it chrome, cut to size and glue it all up.

For TVs I also use packaging (seeing a pattern yet?). I cut out a large rectangle or square, paint it gloss black on the backside only, the get little strips of the packaging and paint them chrome and glue them on the unpainted side. And you can then just glue them to a seat back or whatnot. You can make them any size or shape and obviously change the border color (I prefer chrome or silver bcs it looks more like a real TV). Unlike dub cities tvs you don't have moving picture but they still look good...and ALOT bigger.

wow... i love your H2! I have alot to learn! I all the mods man! I am especially interested in your AMP.. how did you do it with such details?? nice job man!

You had to ask about the amp.... I have to admit the amp was not of my own design. It was foisted from a Dub City... Yes I admit I didn't do the amp but I could almost certain replicate the shape of it (its just flat texured piece with red and chrome).

Also the NOS tank in back was made from a wooden dowel!. It was sanded to the correct shape, painted silver, a hole was then drilled in the top and a wire inserted. A cheap alternative to tuning18.com NOS tanks. I also plan to fill up that trunk space with a sub or something useful. Who needs storage ne way? Of course the speakers right above the passengers couple with subs right behind the seats might prove uncomfortable with high volume...
