Update on my fiberglass sub box!!!
ALL the hard stuff is done now. Just gotta slap on 4-5 layers of fiberglass over the fleece, trim away the cloth/fiberglass thats in the hole for the sub, measure the internal volume and correct for it, and ensure that it is air tight inside. I am NEVER doing this thing again, lol

Don't say you were not warned......!
And don't be too sure the hard part is over, until it's all over!

dont forget to run your speaker wires =)
drilling a hole in the side or back and filling with silicon usually works for me unless you want to be able to pull it out really easily. If thats the case, you can silicon/glass in a terminal cup

Just another little update:
I'm done with all the layers of fiberglass, for the most part. I think I may want to go back and strengthen up a few of the joints where the 2nd half meets the first half that I did.
I did a leak down test tonight with water and had leaks all over the place, so I'm going to try and get all those resolved tonight with the truck bed lining PerryinLA used on his box. That will hopefully take care of that issue.
Then I'll just have to go through and smotth it out with bondo, and paint it. I wanted to get this all done this weekend but was unable to due to homecoming. AND since I have exams tomorrow and Tueday, the box wont be completed till Wed.
