I was actually talking about the subs lol, if he were to just screw them straight up the the back up to the back of the seats without an enclosure it would sound so bad. But floating brakes would be bad too lol

Looks great! Looks like you also sprayed the rotor to help with rusting?

I sprayed the rotor hat because it is a two piece design and you can see them through the rims! they were rusty, just a dull black.
