Sorry, I just drank my hater-aid.... Don't like the midrange setup at all, and why are the RCA mounts located in plain view?

the midrange's are 5.25's so they have to be mounted that way, and those are not RCA's they are the binding posts for the subwoofer, it was an opton i chose...personal choice, there was an option to have it built without that cutout and hidden wires, but i use very high end braided wires for my car and i like to see them.

I prefer that my audio components be heard and not seen, so I was going to suggest covering the enclosure with black leather so that it would disappear into the back seat area.

However it sounds like you want it to be very visible. If that's the case, I'd suggest painting it the color of your car.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did that custom enclosure cost? Also, what woofer is that, and what frequency are they crossed? I have a cab too and the 8s on the floorboards are extremely weak, even running an Audison 6 channel crossed at 80hz.
