Nice and strong.

The pink fleece must add to the overall strength //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

just FYI, you can get some stuff called fumed silica (or cabosil, Colloidal Silica, SiO2, Silicon Dioxide or Silicon Aerogel, there are a few different names). its a powder-like substance that will thicken your resin like a bodyfiller, only stronger.

you can put like 1\4" on the inside of your box, and then you are done. this is how the guys at HZemall.com do their boxes. then just fill\sand\skim\sand the outside of the box, and your ready for paint. much eaiser thatn 7 layers of glass, cheaper, and works just as well.

just thought id let ya know. its a trade secret.

well i'm home from work with more pics...

1)sanded the edges, before more layers. that way it'd be smoother come time for filler

2&3)4th layer

it ain't letting me make a new thread so ...............

my boss is having me find an amp for his son.it is gonna power 2 re8's.

going in this box...he wants something from best buy or a local audio shop, but if there is something from an online store, i could probably talk him into it. NO EBAY! someone help me, he wants to get a sony amp, so it'll match his h/u. so post up some good amps around the 500w range. trying to stay in the $100-200 price range. thanks!!!
