That's a beautiful sub grille. How do you find someone near you who can do that type of work?

I can hook you up with the guy who drew it up & saved it as a .dfx file which is what the plastics place needed to actually make the piece.. & I can hook you up with the plastics place.. You'de probally do everything by emails & have them ship it to you when it's cut... or you can look up 'plastics' in your local yellow pages & start calling them.. That's what I did. Talked to the firs one I called & they sounded good, so I gave them the work..
NOW the plastics place either wanted a .dfx file for the cnc machine.. OR they could take my exeact drawing & for an extra 125$$ they could make up the /dfx file for me..... Luckily, I traded led's & my labor to Shain for his work on the dfx.... PM me if you want their names & numbers.... jh

Thanks for all the kind words, every-1...

Ok, I got thru to 2dot4 on the stlscion site.. Apparently he spoke too soon.. he cannot get away with cutting personal peices at his work, Like he said he could do after all.. He said that he's had tons of requests since he posted that claim & is now in the process of procuring his own cnc router & sources for materials... So looks like it's a bust unless you want to wait around for him to get his side work off the ground... I can turn you'se on the the place that did mine.. You supply them with the .dfx & Bonnie will call you back with a $quote$ & you go from there.. pay with a CC & she'll ship it to ya when it's done.... jh

HA! Anyone that wants to save that kind of money on producing a dxf send me a pm. It doesnt take 20 minutes to trace over a picture in autocad. Im sorry but that is highway robbery.

hell there is freebie programs out there that can do the same thing too!


I am drawing one right now that says KICKER, and I will mount it over across both L7's. Plan to put 2 of those led's on at the ends to light it up.

I just fear that it will break. 250w to each sub right now is rattling my rear veiw mirror like crazy. I cant even think what 750-850w to each sub is going to do
