Project log/ Fun FG

[Buckshot 10+ year member]

Sorry to hear that man..Not every project goes as planned..It sucks to put all that work into it and it not work out right. Just regroup and go at it again. Thats half the fun, at least for me anyway.

Oh I agree. I want to start over, but I would like to sell the old one or somthing.

The same thing happened to me. I built a sealed fg box for my XXX and it sounded like crap. So I just built a ported MDF box, soo much better.

Exactly what I did too. Did you just junk the old glassed one or what?

I'm gonna try to sell it, but I doubt I'll be able to get much.

Anybody wanna buy a sweet fiberglass box for a Scion xB? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

LUCKY ***. how much did that cost you? i want one so badly.

 

[bcarpenterfhl 10+ year member]

ps, i thought you said that box sounded like sh1t, why are you finishing it?

 

[Buckshot 10+ year member]

100 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!!! Uh it sounds bad to me, but it's so much more practical then my ****in wood mang. (Hehe, that sounds kinda weird :+) ) Lol. My wood boxes take up my whole trunk and leave NO trunk room. This will be fine for daily driving, if I need to impress someone Ill throw the MDF in, but for now, I llike this and its a learning experience more then anything.
