Need your opinion!
I have this posted in the car audio got 2 opinions, but I need some looks opinions....what do you guys think will look best! I tried in the interior boards, but I only got one responce...So come on guys... I have another show this weekend and I want to see what you all think! I just have enough time to get it done!
Ok this new sub box is only half way there. I want to finish it with a fiberglass top when I get the new subs. The area for the subs will be domed and a center section with some kind of lighted display. Hense the inverted subs, for now! Not enough room w/o the domed top! Once finished the box will be gloss black! Subs will face up. Going to set up the new amps in the back seat backs!
I had to rush my build to get it ready for a show... Won "Best Interior" at the Southern Trans Am Regional Show in Fort Walton Beach, so it could not have hurt me too bad! Due to my show schedual, the set up may remain for a few months while I get the new amps and subs staightened out. (getting some other seat backs to butcher and perfect... then swap on my covers!)
The box ended up sitting a bit high...fit perfect w/o the carpet on it! Oh well, so I have some minor trimming ahead this week. So the existing covering has to come off for the trim... Not too sure I like the top covered in the ACC matching carpet. I had hopes it would match my ACC carpet perfect, but its a bit off. I ordered all the carpet at the same time, but I guess you get what you pay for. The really bad thing is that in order to get the ACC to stay on the top of the box, I had to staple it on the sides! Not liking that at all. Esp if I want to pop the box out to display the tools... (hidden underneath!)

So for the time being, till I get a chance to finish it completely... *Should I swap the box over to a black padded naugasoft cover, (can fit it better, will glue, does not matter if it matches the carpet since it is vinyl...should match the t-top bag fairly well)
*Stick with the ACC, (close material match, but does not really fit tight enough will not glue down...has staples around the edges, so I can't show the box up at all to show off the tool storage!)
*Go to a black sub box material all over (extra fuzzy style!) (will not exactly match the ACC carpet color the fuzzy is about right though, but it will fit tighter, will glue down...no staples to hold it in place!)
I was leaning to the black naugasoft, but I'm afraid I will make everything look to busy...black plastic panels, with red hampton vinyl, reg carpet, then the black vinyl. I have matching Hampton red, but I think that will be way overkill with the red!
So what do you guys think will look the best for now?

I'm going with the nauga. Pretty much though, if these are the options you are happy with none of them would be bad. You have great taste.
