Woohoo! put a 12" sub in my new MINI

We got my... I mean my wife's 2009 MCS last Friday and I just finished up the sub install. I used equipment I had laying around namely a punch 12" and an old punch 40. Sounds pretty good. Of course the box is scratch built. I'm not known for building pretty, but I'm very happy with it. What do you guys and gals think?

Thanks for looking,
Michael




closer view... still haven't finished cleaning up the saw dust


this is how you know if she loves the color

Thanks!

It sounds pretty good considering the airspace. My wife doesn't want too much boom.

Looks GREAT!!! And the build does look pretty!
