Cheers mate, i'll start looking into which sub i'll use and how I wire it in... should be easier with me having the DSP and basically just replacing the two small subs that are already there?

You have a pm fella :thumbsup:

As for the sub, the focal one which Sanj and Pewters has (Jig aswell i think) are awsome for sound and my 8" av3 jl is great too.I'm no sound expert as you can tell from the threads on here (not a bad enclosure builder mind ;)) but there is a hell of a difference when this set up is installed.

And for the install i dont know how capable you are but i used the link below as a guide having not done one before and it was pretty easy to follow from the video's.With yours being dsp as you say i would have thought that it would be a bit more straight forward aswell :thumbsup:

Well what can I say! Received my enclosure from Mitch and the only word to describe it is wow.

Really well made and a perfect fit. Can't wait to get it all wired in.

Really like the factory look so I am thinking about covering mine in light grey carpet to match the boot.

Mitch has been great all the way with this project and I would defo buy again from him....

Cheers Mitch.

[quote=""blingsta""]any pics mate?[/quote]

Pics will be the same as first post blingsta minus the sub...

Carpet not necessary as the cover will hide the unit when a good grill goes over it. I just painted the face black so the mdf colour wouldn't show through the grill.

Absolutely stonking with a Focal though - perfect volume displacement and all that...

Granted you don't really need to carpet it....

I just think it would look nice if it was.... The craftsmanship is very professional and looks perfect.

I have some carpet and think it would look really cool if it was done. Pointless exercise as you say it's covered up...but I want it to look as good as possible...

Pics are just the same as the ones at the start of the thread but I will post some up once it's fitted with a sub and carpeted.
A great purchase and so much better than I could make if I am honest.
Get your orders in whilst you can!

I see some copyright infringement here!!!!!

My limited edition is becoming less limited x555!

If anyone thinks this is hot air - think again, unbelieveable workmanship (I helped) and stupidly good performance with the right sub. My Infinity was rubbish, with the Focal, awsome.

Timh, I remember how I was when I got mine. Make it perfect for you fella! And keep us posted!
