That's what I'm talking about!

Looks good, I like the subfloor, dont forget to double up.. and your right about building as much as you can outside the car, my wall is the same.. You make a stronger and better box that way. Obviously there will come a point where you have to build in the car though.

Your on the right track for a very successful build!

This box had to be assembled inside the car, I don't have a keg jig so I had to screw it together from the bottom, I rested the bottom of the box on some cinder blocks and screwed it together. It ******* suckkkkkkked, the BS cut wood in the middle is where the removable fuel pump plug will bolt into, it was the only scrap wood I had lol so I made it work, want be seen and will do the job just fine so I'm not worried



My bullshiiiiiit rigged up "stand" for the box if you will lol



Box in



Sanded from 120, 220, then 400. Wood was soooo **** smooth it felt like glass, taped off, and ready for primer





Laying down primer



Taped off the car to primer the box

Finished off wetsanding the inside of the box with 400 and 600 grit, it was super smooth. Looking forward to paint

Was such a pain in the *** to do this, should've done it before I started painting but didn't think about it

Trim panels in, leveling and smoothing it all out so it looks to be one piece

Aluminum bars on the ampere amps, I painted the under sides of them do that if I ever sell them the top will still be factory, there will be white vinyl "ampere audio" stickers on these

Just need to build a rear trim beauty panel, for the back and the floor, along with my 3 ports and it will be done. The floor will be carpeted, and the rear beauty panel and port will be painted to match the box

Still need to build my amp rack, finish my doors, and build the subs, etc. So still some work to do but it's coming right along
