New audio + Today's DIY project

[TEHxFALLEN V1.2]

Got real bored today and took the time to build myself a housing for my amp. I was trying my best to conceal any exposed wires and making the trunk a bit more prettier. So here it is:

(Before I get flamed about my harness' mounting location, I DON'T use my harness, they're just bling until I have a proper harness bar.)

My next project is to fabricate a cover so that you cannot see my amp and sub from the outside.

Spent less than $40 on all materials:

$9 on 6'x3' black carpeting - AutoZone
$2 on nails - HomeDepot
$3 on Gorilla wood glue - HomeDepot
$20 on wood and planks (more than I should have really spent) - HomeDepot

I also bought a 11"x14" acrylic board along with some spacers (1/2") and some decorative screws to place on top of it. I heard that you shouldn't fully enclose an amp because it could overheat, so I'll leave it to you guys to help me debate if I need the acrylic board or not. Just want it to look nice..

Another thing I forgot to mention is that I have raised the amp 1/2" on wood planks, to allow for easier heat dissipation.
