Dang. It will wang! Box Specs? Do you plan on adding any internal bracing?

[pimpedout97x 4]

na, its solid as hell as it is. double baffled all around, plus 2x4s on the outside, plus 4 front baffles....not gonna move.

i believe gross is like 13 cubes, net is somewhere around 9ish after port/sub/the notch at the top for the mids/highs

I can definitely appreciate the amount of work you've put into this. You most likely will be the victim of early hearing loss though!! Might I suggest that you really sweat the details... cutting custom pieces like that takes forever and is extremely frustrating, but the quality of that work makes or breaks the project. I've come across situations when doing work like this when Ive used the same words as you have- "It's good enough for me"... aka justification for cutting a corner. And if you're like me, if you get lazy on something and it turns out crappy, you won't be able to stop staring at it! Maybe you're not as anal as I am though.

And as far as the car's value goes, you have definitely devalued your car significantly. But like you said, that's not a concern until you sell it (and you never plan to sell it, so it's not an issue). If you eventually change your mind and get sick of the car, all you can hope for is that somebody hits you and your insurance company gives you blue book!

How does your car handle with all of this extra weight? how much weight do you estimate this will add to your car?

[pimpedout97x 4]

about 500 lbs total in all (4-5 amps, all mids/highs, sub, box, 2 batteries, etc.

and i know about the value, i plan on keeping this car until its not worth anything anyways (motor starts giving out)

i like driving it, its a fun car.

testing things out

It's taking you longer to do this install than the length that I normally keep most of my cars.

I'll go easy on him for that, considering how long it takes me to complete things

temp lil setup to see how she sounds

using a old kicker kx1200.1 to power it, but the sub isnt mine (same model ill be running though) but i cant wire it at 1 ohm, its at 2 ohm, and that amp only puts 600w @ 2 ohm, and its still loud for 600w! imagine when i put 3000 on it!!!!

a mess

my car smells like wood, LOL
