Who is creative? :]

I need some unique ideas that would make a box look eye appealing. I am going to have 2 15" subs and I want them to look like a million dollars. I was in the car that I think I may get and I took the back seats out to see what it would look like and it is plain ugly! So what I am asking it what colors, of box shapes, or lighting affects, or anything tht is just cool looking can you add to a box soo it wont look like garbage in your back seat.




Just imagine that with the back seats taken out (and there is a raised part were the seats meet the floor and the area were your feet go is lower so what can i doo about that) same color and everything. I was told black everything with a strobe or two would be cool. But I wanted to know what the pros thought. So use your imagination.
(I was told to ask a girl this question and I did and she said pink neon in a flower shape around the sub but she said "use that glowy stick stuff around the circle part". So I chose plan B)

Vinyl usually makes stuff look really good. You could make a fiberglass "beauty plate" to cover the sub mounting ring so all you see is the surround and cone. That looks nice. You could make that out of wood also if youre good at it.

O.K. because I was thinking about getting one of those nice multi colored strobes that flash with the music. How do you hook those up?

on the full reply (not the quick reply), on the line just above the typing box there is a row of options. Near the end there is one that looks like this <> . I think that's the one you use, BUT the pics have to be uploaded to a pic sharing site first.

Alright thats pretty cool. But how and what could you make a box cover so it looks like its fiberlass but is made out of wood or something else, or does it need to be made out of fiberglass to look good. (and this is going to go over the square box because I am cheap :])

I hope that is tuned for that sub and not a prefab bandpass.

Looking at the pics its hard to tell.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
