Thanks everyone,
Actually mattross did the hood conversion earlier this year, I just changed up the hardware to be beefier and to be able to open more. I'm happy with the end result. All the metal I got from Lowes. I also got the paint for the pillars from Lowes. It's a paint that ends up looking like stone and cost about $9 a can.

yup. I've been running this setup in a sonotube enclosure for over a week and its enough to rattle all the panels and at the same time, sound really clean.

The enclosure airspace is the recommended 1.0cuft stated by Boston Acoustics. The Router work was easier than I thought and possibly the easiest part of the fabrication. Note to others... do not buy router bits from Harbror Freights. all the burn marks were made from that bit. Thankfully once it is covered in vinyl, no one will ever see em.

i just got me a new sub box. Picked up one of the two for sale in the classifieds for 170 shipped! Not sure which one I am getting the other guy got first dibs cause he set up the deal since he only wanted one like me. But its a steal and I cant wait to get started on my new set-up. I also got a house today down here in key west. Im renting though. I dont wanna buy down here but still a beautiful house and a big porch and decent back yard for doing some wood work. I dont have a paved driveway but a spot where i can throw a tarp down and pull the car onto it so i am no laying in grass and sand.
