Tuned in for sure! You always give enough pics to explain everything properly and thoroughly, thus insuring I learn something. Plus I fap to a couple, sorry, nature of the game. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/boink.gif.91933e72f927f2cefc79aff02573090c.gif

He has a good Clarion HU, Jl C5 comps, and the comps will be amped. Goal will be daily SQ. some local shops use a TermLab in the pass dash corner for local comps, but I'll refer to other rule books to determine classes ahead of time.

Why are you going with a 3" thickness, with a good portland cement you should be able to pour a VERY dense rigid enclosure and not have to go beyond 1.5" in thickness also portland has a very tight structure to it after it has set-up, it's usaually mixed with sand to change it's consistency but I would use as little of that as possible.

Heard good things about cement board. Laminate together a few layers of that with resin on top of a few layers of wood laminated together with resin.
