I'm probably going to cover the face of my box in CF to match the woofer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I've actually thought about this a lot because a good friend of mines dad designs, builds, and sells carbon fiber guitars so he would be perfect to ask to do it.

How much would one of these guitars cost?

alot, my friend is a student at the university of florida, and hes a member of their formula team, they build a race car blah blah blah, but they actually build their own carbon fiber seat, and he said the screwed up on the first one and it was big dollar screw up

It's a B*tch to cut CF.

depends on which one you buy. I think their cheapest model is $1000ish. Many famous singers use them too.

as long as you don't cut it after you put resin on, you should be good. It is a bit sticky though

It's not too difficult to cut if you have a good fiber cut-off wheel or similar tool handy.

I work with carbon and other fiberglass composites at my shop. If you made the box first and then covered it in carbon fabric, you could wet it out and sand after it kicks, clear it, wet sand and put one more clear coat on it and it would look great. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

By the way make sure you wear protection because the dust is very itchy!
