No power windows. too many problems with them down the road and the door locks seems to work awesome, just need to get my security system installed to control them. I don't see myself showing off my system unless I am at a show. I like to keep things low profile if you know what I mean.

Great work man. I love custom fabs.

Only thing I did want to point out to you. That box is rather large and has a long run top to bottom for no supports. Also the subs are failry close together and that will be a weak spot for the MDF and it will tend to flex. I would put support in the middle of those as well. Nothing major, just a few 2" wide pieces between each of the woofers and on the top endges of them as well. I know you already put the vinyl on so just cut the pieces snug and glue them in.
Minor deatil bud. minor.

Great work so far otherwise.

Oh...I hadn't forgot about those....I have 2x4's in there for support between the subs. I just didn't take a picture of that.....

^^^Good to hear. It will certainly secure the subs for a cleaner output. I would line the entire back with Dynamat to reduce vibrations on the box itself which will aid is sound as well.

That it would but my budget does not allow such a thing at this moment in time.......This was mainly a feeler project that I will compete with for next year to see if I like competing again in car shows....If so most of this will be redone after next season anyways.....
