Rear Component Tray

I've been working on the sub for a few weeks so I thought I'd find this thread and update it. The new rear styrene component tray has been cut and sanded, the motor mounts have also been built, holes were cut, bolts were screwed on, and so on...

I've also decided to wire the motors in parallel. I think you would get a lot more runtime by wiring them in series but when I tested the setup in parallel and with the battery, I got a lot more power and a runtime of over an hour. Below are pictures of the motors and the component tray, you can also see how horrible my soldering is!
