Hey man, looking good. Just caught back up with your project and I've actually started mine too. How many total layers did you end up with?

amp idea/location





test fit



just have to get some rca extensions and then mount the sub and it is ready to go.

Idk what you're talking about it looks pretty damn nice to me.

Also if you end up using RCA extensions (which I would advise against) make sure you cover the connection between the two. If the outer metal of the plugs or female/female adapter touch the chassis they can induce noise...ask me how I know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

its my first paint job using a gun so it was a learning process plus I kinda wish it had more shine but whatcha going to do since it is a single stage urethane.

as far as the extenders, I wish I didn't have to use them but the rcas don't reach my amp.... only need like a foot or so to make them reach...was going to electrical tape the connections to make sure they don't touch anything as well as not come loose by accident lol

Don't be lazy and do it right. Buy some longer rca's and rerun them. You be happier in the long run.

Otherwise, looks pretty good and it looks like it fits good.

Very nice getting close to video time.

My thoughts as well but if it's only for a sub he probably won't notice any difference. I wouldn't do it for mids/highs though...
