Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everyone! This is my first time doing a build log so bare with me lol. So let me introduce myself! I live in Reno, NV. Im 18 currently going to TMCC (my community college). I have been obsessed with car audio for over three years. I have made my way up to doing regular installs for people i know making money that gets put right back into my system! I have built around 5-6 boxes, this one being the most technical obviously. Ive installed a few systems for buddies and friends of friends its awesome because i make enough so that i can be my own boss :yahoo:

So heres a few pics of what ive done to the car. Not much yet, but i get by haha

whats with that old RF Punch box? lol/// strange shape, what car was it made for? jw

Very good Question! i made it for my old truck to fit in the rear middle seat, it would stand up with port on bottom. Sounded awesome so i kept it in this car until i upgraded
