I just ordered some tail light tint film off ebay actually. Off the top of my head I dont know what percentage it was but i dont think it was anything too dark. If i was to guess it might have been around the 25% mark ?

only took about 30 minutes to do both lights. stole mums hair dryer (as i dont own a heat gun :lol:) and a stanley knife and away i went. I thought it turned out alright! Ive been pulled into a number of RBT's and been pulled over under the suspicion of my car being a turbo and not once has the men in blue said anything about the tail lights either.

The place where I get all my gear from are big promoters of Rockford gear. And the owner is a family friend so I get a fairly large discount, that's really the only reason.

Ah cool. Makes sense. Good idea using a sealed enclosure with the 15's IMO. Was that your choice?

Thanks! Yeah it was in the end. If I wanted a ported box I would have had to have the box fixed in the boot and couldn't remove it and I didn't want to not be able to take it out if I ever needed the boot.

Pffttt... Who cares about being able to use the boot. It's all about the chase for added S.Quez!!! LOL

So it was more of a practicality based decision? Only reason I bring it up is, IMO 15's tend to be a bit "slower" than a 12" or 10" subs so being in a sealed enclosure helps tighten things up a bit. Might not get the fully tabouli low end doof but you get a better sounding sub in the end.
