Looks really nice, you did a good job with the repair.

I hope those mids are in a sealed chamber totally isolated from the subs - else
you are gonna have some blown mids and crappy bass.

They dont look as pretty as new but sure as hell dont look like trash in those first pics!

Hopefully you didn't cheap on the glue and those suckers stick.

Overall, cool success story!


+1 on what dalton said, that box looks scary no matter what, why do you even have speakers back there? that cant sound too good.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

it actually sounds really good, the 4-6.5's face into the car on one amp on high pass and the 2-10's facing rearward sound surprisingly good.
