Default wife's box done and ready to install-56k watch out

Well, i finished my wife's sub box for her xB. Not my best work, but it will do. At 42 years old and about 23 years of installing one thing or another, my hands just do not work that great and I had my kids help me wrap the vinyl. So, before you flame me on the cute leopard print, remember this is my wife's car, so I had no choice.

let me know what you think. i am going to install it this weekend and make the side panels. i will post more pics when done.

For some reason this reminds me of a females body...Bottom part looks like a bikini and the speakers are the *****.

Other than that, looks sweet!

I will try to answer the questions in order.

Holy crap, I did not even catch that! It does doesn't it? Well, I hope it looks different in the car. At least my wife has not looked at it too close yet!

Wheres it going??? In the back hatch?
Yes, it is made to fit in the right side of the hatch. I wanted to make sure the spare could be in there in case my wife gets a flat.

By the way, what Infinity sub are they?
They are last years Infinity reference 8's.

I am going to try some fiberglassing soon, wish me luck.
good luck! Take your time and use the fish fabric for your crazy shapes.....

about how heavy is it with the subs in?
if I had to guess, 35-40 pounds. The fiberglass really makes a difference in the weight, but those subs are heavy....
