Default Boot

Ok so I was sick of my ****ty boot look so I decided to rebuild it and add some cheap sound proofing.
As you can see I added a step so the sub would sit on it nicely and behind that I got some mdf wood and mounted my to amps on to them.
The boot is half completed. When I get some more time im planing on boxing around the sub and installing 2 6inch speakers.
I have sound proofed the whole boot. It dosnt make to much difference but it was noticeable.
