pics 10 & 12 are our first elevation sale if anyone cares to know the comp 10 is about the best sounding 10 ive ever heard and took the full brunt of the bridged output of an xs125.4........pretty damn good for a budget 10

Just had a look at the pics.
Just curious why you did and all fiberglass box? You could of got away with 5/8 MDF.Looks like the box came out good. Bet its fairly light.
Also in the one pic it looks like a seat is folded down and still most of the sub is covered and really close to the seat. Hopefully its not hitting it.
That amp is sure pretty.

had to do an all fiberglass box. that is in a 2005 ford f250 crew cab and the back seat does not slide forward at all and with that comp 10 it was so tight i had to form the back of the box to the rear cab wall, which is shaped kinda like the floor of a truck bed with all the high and low spots (hope that makes sense) anyway i had to have that exact shape in order to get the bump on the back of the magnet to clear, plus its hard to see in the pic but the sub is mounted real low in the box and is set at an angle i couldnt reasonably duplicate with a wood box. the front of the box has several compound curves, the sides and top of the box wound up sticking out farther than the sub baffle so when i stretched my material overthe front it created a cool look where everything swept down toward the baffle which itself was set at an angle that set the lower part inside the box but the upper part almost even with it...
the suck part is that i had the thing almost ready for paint and the customer comes in and decided to go with carpet at the last minute....i was not happy, carpet does not need all the fine sanding i did to it....but he wanted total stealth so, customer gets what he wants....

oh and the seat kind of rolls back when it is down, the sub just clears with it in the up position...

I agree 100% with smoker. For the money, you simply can NOT beat an Elevation Audio Comp subwoofer. They hit hard and get very loud for a budget subwoofer.

i know of alot of 150-200 dollar subs that arnt like those. they are hard to blow up too. i had a couple stinking really good a few time in my wicked on box but they are still hitting really hard.
