nice work . I gotta say that for 6-15's that port looks way to small.
you need almost 96 sq/in of port as a starting point. Why did you tune it so low? I'm confused as to the goal of this build. I mean it's all good but if you want to be loud and 6 15's says you do.... a huge port is the way to go. What amps are you using? please enlighten me.

no not mad at all

, sorry if you misunderstood my questions, I am easily confused.

I can't help but think it would look better if it was dark, so it blended in with the port. Still, really cool idea!

I was thinkin of a darker color myself, still lookin around for the right paint
and try it again later.

I thinked black will do the trick.

Post by **stipud** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 8:18 pm

I like it. Still enough grey to tie into the box and your interior. Dark enough to match the port.

Should i paint it black or leave well enough alone?

I personally think that would look best. Your car though, so your call in the end.

I think you should stick some leds in the back of the port shining out where you can't see the lights themself but the light just seems to come from nowhere.

that^

paint it black jesse......and the led thing....the dark black will make it look oem! just like the jl audio logo....just my 2 cents!

MOJO68 · Post by **MOJO68** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 1:24 pm

DONE!! JUST REPAINTED IT.

Post by **ttocs** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 1:30 pm

the fleckstone just doesn't do much for me personally.
