I finally got my new subwoofer box in. HOLY COW, i've never heard a more clear sound system in a car before!!!
here is a pic of the box design (made by the local shop):
and here's one of the the beasts that powers it:
overall shot, everything installed:

Very nice...but I must say...those sub ports on the side...i've never seen anything quite like that...how does it hit??
My q-logic enclosure is sealed right now...has threaded caps covering the ports...but it hits so hard sealed i'd hate to open the ports
but I've also got them aimed almost perfectly at the rear hatch glass...they hit that glass SOOOO hard
What size subs and amp are you running??
Looks like MTX on both of them...but whats the 2 boxes on the sides of your amp?...crossovers or something?
Really like those revere glow guages as well...they're tight

Hey thanks for all the compliments, guys!
1gendreemer: I got the a-pillar pod off a guy on another forum. If you want one i can hook you up with his email and he can send you one for $60 shipped. I live in Washington state, and altho i'd LOVE to go to rotofest, its a looooooong ways away!! (further away than sevenstock, even!)
falcoln0014: I was surprised to see the side ports as well, actually. I just wanted him to build the best SOUNDING box he could for my subs. It doesnt hit nearly as hard as it used to with the shitty sealed box that you buy pre-made. It used to rattle your bones when you turned it up, however, now it perfectly plays ANY note, at ANY frequency, at ANY volume. I've never heard a car audio setup that can clearly articulate bass notes and sounds like this one can. its really amazing, i had no idea it would sound this good.
The center amplifier powers the sub woofers, and then there is another amp on each side, one powers the front speakers, one powers the rears. This gives better sound control, heat dissipation off the amps (instead of one 4 channel amp, i have two 2 channel amps).
As it is right now, the subwoofers are only running on half the power of the amp, because they are not the ones that perfectly match it. (they only pull 500w RMS instead of 1000w RMS)
