Custom Box...

Ok this summer, my friends and myself are going to be building a all fiberglass Subwoofer Box, that holds two 12's...I have a Photshop version of what it will look like...i did all this in about an hour, cutting the cardboard and all that...but here it is...oh, and if you look at the picture...the Capacitor...i just snatched one off the internet but would the Capacitor be affected by how close it is to the subs...i know it has to be close to the amp as well, but would there be any interference...thats tilted back about 45 degrees...im going to test fit it in the Camaro in the morning, shave what i have to and see what i would have to add for the sides so i can hide the spare compartment in the back and to where you can see the plastic peice that the spare tire and jack reside behind...i dont want to see any of that...I want to do something special with the Camaro, but havent decided what color to do it in...so i just took the color of the Subs...but my plan was to have the words CAMARO light up when i hit a switch in the glovebox...im not sure if im going to do this yet or what, but im not sure if i will have them steady or with the bass..

it varies greatly on what is needed, a basic custom enclosure at most shops starts at about $200 (materials run about $50) I have done enclosures that the final total was a couple grand (the one in my van cost about $1200 in materials)
