Wood isn't really my thing, but this turned out better than I expected for a first shot. Just have to figure out how I want to finish it now.
I am very surprised by how well these 8" shallow (2.125" deep) mount subs sound. I had a single 10 in a truck box sitting on the floor for a few days before I got this finished, and these are actually clearer and hit harder. They're not as deep, but with some tuning they could probably be deeper. But I'm satisfied with them. They sound good with all types of music.
