Fiberglass I just did. It takes some practice lol. That was my first time and it didn't turn out that great. My box is right around 8.5 cubes. I don't remember the exact number.

Nevermind haha. I thought it looked a tad smaller than that.

Fiberglass is something I have to learn eventually. It seems pretty important in this hobby.

Yeah man, it's pretty big. Just looks smaller because the subs go to the edges basically.

1 coat of stain, 2 coats of polyurethane. Let it dry 24 hours before this:

Prepping for carpet.

Behold!

SO happy I didn't screw it up. The carpet cuts along the bottom aren't the cleanest but most of those are hidden. Very happy with this.

I guess it's hard to see your "mistakes" because we aren't there. But from pictures. It looks really cool. Not your ordinary everyday box.

So, haven't done a whole lot. Just worked on this POS speaker baffle and my amp rack/batt box some.
Mid baffle first. Pretty embarrassed to show this, but whatever. It turned out looking like a 4th grader made it. But, you won't be able to see them once I get the door panels reworked, and they seem pretty strong, so I'm not too concerned with it. I'm sticking to bondo from now on.

I'm thinking of buying 2 set of these mids hope you can help me out. What's the outer diameter of the Mid baffle? Trying to see if glassing my doors a bit different would allow me to fit them.

Couple quick things. Haven't done much because of this girl:

I'm volunteering with Guide Dogs of Texas, and I'm boarding (a.k.a. dogsitting) her on weekends.

Anyway, got SHCA wire from Jim this week, 50ft. of OFC. Also got this loom:

Gave in and bought a torch and vice so I can solder everything:

Actually, this was my first time soldering these big lugs. I won't not solder again. **** that crimper! Lol.

Cut my front to rear runs of wire. I measured with rope and gave myself extra, so I'm just praying I have enough once I actually get it in the car. Shouldn't have done it this way, but I am bored. Put the loom on, soldered on one side of terminals:

Also found the best spot ever for my ground:

Aaaaaaand just a picture for fun:

I love soldering //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif comes out so much cleaner and if u do a **** good job those ******* will never fall off. I dont trust crimping.

I went out of my way to make it different.

I can't tell you for sure right now, I'm up in D.C. this week. I could measure for sure when I got home Friday if ya want. But I do have my CA notebook, and I'm pretty sure I have 7-1/8" for the outside and 5-7/8" for the inside of the baffle. I didn't label this drawing, but that sounds right.

Yeah man, I won't crimp anything bigger than 8ga again. Solder fo sho. I did crimp my 8ga sub wires, but I KNOW those are **** tight.

well your stuff is definitely unique and like no one else!

That box is ****. And I'm digging the wiring for the subs. Very smart.
