Your going to make it out of granite? Weirdd...


What style do you want? Downfiring, visible sub, curved, flat, stockish looking?

I built a center console for my SC that was sweet, double as an armrest. I'm really thinking about building another to put in it.

Yeah granite does sound weird to use(but i have a ton here and is is cheap for me! no 1alone can slean, one of a kind, and the box wont flex!!! this will make the 3rd box to be built and the first two were completely sealed and slammed soooooo hard with only 600 watts! when i get it done and installed ill get some pics posted! You will never see anything like it...i promise!

I'd flip it around...put the sub at the back, unless I'm reading it wrong. Will the sub face the dash or the rear seat?
