haha well next time your at mx5 mania.. you can have a geez.. as i am working there now..

honestly though SM's sub box is probably one of the best ones i have seen.. and the fact alex has moulded it around the battery is very cool.. i do want to see his again as i only saw it when it was half done

Ahh, how about that. I just thought you bought the decals because :P

Yeah, it was really nicely done. I wanna try and do something similar with the sub, although I'm still unsure what to do with the amp. Although SM's idea for the amp mounting is good, it's not practical for me as I use the boot for work stuff fairly often. Will have to think of something.

See, if you'd just made it a 12\" box in the first place, I'd take it off your hands right now, but noooo... you had to build it for a 10\" sub... :P

I vote yellow only cause I like interiors same colour as exterior!

looks good btw the panel on the left of the sub should go up a little higher should be the same as the top of the sub box.

looks good though

blue could work i guess

I always wanted to do my interior on a sandy/camel colour and two toned it blue up high and camel down low

never got round to it though!

looking good ajay, your car is evolving everytime i look at it, i thought u started working at mania, because i rang up last sat asking about chrome sills :lol:, i say make it yellow AND black, maybe the center piece yellow, sides black or even better, 2 tone it, half half. would be hard though.

i got to ask you a favour :oops: when i see you again, could i get some dimensions off you?, i'm making a same sorta setup but with 2 10' subs mounted where yours is, but its not going to well. :(
