I guess if I don't like it I could always buy a used one at a scrap yard. I'll look into this sometime right now I'm in the process of intalling my amp and sub.

How much did you pay to have it done professionally? I have a guy in town who would do it but I don't wanna end up paying 400 dollars for something I don't like and then end up buying a new chrome one.
