looks really good, but you should have put the xtreme emblem on there instead and cut 4 smaller holes instead of that on big one for your sub

Looks great. So is it just a beauty piece or part of the box?

I think it looks really clean. How long did it take to make?

Usually I use contact cement in the pnumatic sprayer. But I dont have a compressor in the garage yet so I just used some Super 77 I had laying around...Not the best, but it came fine...

show us a picture in a month or 2 or whenever the warm weather hits. Spray glue is horrible for vinyl. Id advise redoing it with contact cement as soon as you get your compressor

Oh I know man. Im building a new box for two of these next month, thats why I wasnt really concerned with longivity. I have a compressor at the shop where I do my builds, just didnt want to drive across town for it...

Now that I think about it, Ive done a couple with Super 90 before and they held up fine for years actually. They were always in a car with dark tint though. Im sure prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might not turn out the same...
