They both started doing it in the late 90's from what I remember.

like others are saying, that box is waaaaayyyy too lightweight. I'd use 5/8" mdf minimum. and personally I'd use 3/4" mdf. The more rigid your box is, the better the subs will sound.

I DO TOO!!!! The reason why it isn't glossy is because you can't get a glossy finish on castings, and the reason why the tubes aren't glossy is because I bead blasted them first to give them a matte, velvet like appearance. BTW I almost bought a mini a little while ago. I've been playing...

lol, it's hard to get a pic that looks right. I actually bead blasted everything first wich makes it look funny, but in person it looks like red velvet. and the turbo housing looks maroon like the car.

I'm not sure how much the color will shift, but I know from experience that it usually takes an extreme amount of heat before it does a whole lot. Plus cast aluminum acts somewhat different so this is a little bit of an experiment. The reason why I did it inside and out is because it's a...
