The subs are sounding great! Love them. Fitment on the Zenclosure is flawless.

It takes some getting used to at first. You get used to seeing all that silver in there, and then its gone. Thanks for the compliments!

He didn't use plasti dip. He posted right under the pics that he used gloss black enamel to match the piano black sides...

Did you tape off and paint the entire window trim - including the part that was already black? Or did you just paint the chrome portion?
