I think it looks great. I like the contrast of the blue.

I have 2 Punch 150 HD's that, back in the day, I had powder coated to match the color of my trunk. Car is gone now, but I still have the amps in my attic...

I own a set of 250M units like this setup. Mine are still black but its gloss black not matte finish like original. Looks OK to me especially if your matching a blue interior....

I think it looks better than it did, but black goes with anything. Personally, if it was to be thrown in my trunk I wouldn't care what color it is. I won't ever see it. Now if you would have painted them red, I know the perfect location for them.

I don't think i have enough power for my setup what do you guys think?

I think it looks Ok. A lot of people, I think, are more interested in stock amps that are in original condition. But I think what you did looks nice.

The original look is nice but everyone has it back in the late 80's and early 90's you had a choice of colors with the fosgate fan shrouds now and all you get now is black or gray or gray & black not much choice anymore and that sucks it nice to have something different from everyone else.
