Helps to reduce muddy bass and cleans up the midrange by absorbing internal standing waves. Staple or glue to the top, bottom, sides and back of your speaker cabinet. You will be amazed at what acoustic foam can do for your sound system. Also ideal for small recording rooms and studios. Flame retardant in accordance with UL 94 HF-1 flammability testing. Sold individually in 24" x 18" pieces. 16 pieces per carton. Charcoal gray color. " |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 4027 Registered: Sep-04 | Got wires? i hate working with so many wires. it really makes you want to shoot yourself. idk how people do installs with 6 subs, 10 screens, 8 amps, neons, fans, etc. this isnt all the wires though, some are already out of sight, eventually, they all will be though. this is how it sits, eventually there will be a cover for both the amps and subs. it'll look really nice. sounds good. could be alot louder in a different vehicle but ya gotta work with what ya got. (1 arsenal 12 hooked up at 2 ohms was louder in my truck than these 2 hooked up at 1 ohm belive it or not) box was different though. in my truck it was 1.15 cuft built to golden ratio. and this is 1.22 not golden ratio.  |

"The front is the only part you see, thats why it is the only side painted (screwless look, resined, sanded, primered, painted, clearcoat, scratch X, wax. lol)." looks great buddy, cant wait to see the final install, I had to do a few like those, even the same color paint & clear coat as the exterior or interior of vehicle...  keep up the good work. |

That will be one of the cleanest sounding enclosures, nice job... Polo.. |
