just detailed car too so why not?

I like the wooden bits but I have one suggestion...take them back out and sand them smooth then repaint.

Where did u get the box?

Cool. You might think about using a subwoofer geared more towards small boxes. The Alpine Type-R would be a great choice. The SWR-1042D or the SWR-1043D is the one you'll need. The 43 is just a newer model. I'd use either.

Agreed. I would have hit them with a layer of bondo. Then sanded. Then painted. Then covered with a layer of finishing resin...... or you could have just used another type of wood. :lol: That panel is super easy to un/reinstall, so you could take your time with it. I also would have bought a pint of the factory color paint. Or at least closer than the medium red...

Take it easy "bigdaddy"

I got a 12" type R, I custom molded to the right side of the trunk, looks pretty legit and it hits hard.

yeah the amp cover was pretty much just a start i don't think i'm going to keep all of it painted i might carpet everything but the center

do you have any pics of it installed?

would this be safe with the SWR-1043D fire?

Yep:icon_tup:

And there's really no difference between the old and new models. Use whichever you can find cheapest.

i thought the mounting depth changed?

Huh. I read Alpine's writeup they released at CES this year regarding their new subwoofer line up. It basically just said that the Type-S and Type-E models were going to get some of the design features that previously only the Type-R and Type-X models had. Guess I just assumed that meant the R and X were going to remained unchanged. But it just went on their website at they have the new subwoofers posted. Looks like several changes to the Type-R were made. Rock on. Get the 43.:)

haha hell yeah
