Here are some pics of the driver side box. The box is in yellow primer, almost ready to take a moulde of. The rotor grill will be painted silver. The box has some really nice lines. We put these lines in the box to make it stronger, and it looks cool. I out-lined the curves with a black marker so its easier to see. I will have the final pics soon.

saw this and had to chime in 
being an installer my self, even though i cannot see the edited out price 4080 is asking, but I am in agreement that 150 is no where near what these boxes should go for. good fiberglass work like this, is a lot of hardwork and attention...
and if I am reading all the posts correctly, you guys would be getting a very high quality piece crafted by a pretty well known installer, Ainslie's past work speaks for themselves.

I do not want to say if the W6V2 will work until I actually hear the sub in my box. I am 99.9% sure because of the small air space requirement of the sub. The only other thing that I am unsure about is the unusual large speaker terminals on the W6V2. Wait one more week and I will let you know. BTW the W6V2 is a more desireable sub than the old V1.
