You need to cut a strip of MDF and carpet it to cover that little bit of back wall

did u mean to say is that the amp down under that red piece? if so, yes it is. it's not done tho. there's a red neon down in there, and im cutting a piece of plexiglass to go in the cutout.
thats a good idea bout the back wall.. i think i would use a piece of trim panel tho, not MDF

hahaha. yea, the amp is down in there wit all the wires hid & some galvanized steel {the metal under the amp in the pic i posted on pg 7} so the neon will reflect all around. should look pretty cool...but more importantly it'll be outta plain sight

I've got 2 of those in my truck for right now. Nice speakers, they aren't super loud but they play clean and can drop decently low in small sealed enclosures. They can take way more power than what they are rated at.

Sounds like they are good for me. I got them for $100 so I'm not complaining. I don't need anything rediculously loud. Clean sound sounds good to me.

sup guys just thought id post pics of my new amp install its a little better than the other one i had the power wires and the rca arnt crossing at all this time jaja (pics in gallery) it sounds alright im not happy with it im waiting for my bigger amp for my components and another set type r comps and itll prob end with that for the mids and highs. Ethen i want to work with my bass my memphis m3's are ok i guess but i want a little louder im willing to lift my seat and maybe even try some fiberglass just need to figure out how the airspace works. Then pick out which new woofers to go with ? any input i was thinking of like kicker l7s 10"?
