Well not realy FG ... but i resined my fleece. the pics are REALY big go i'm just post links.

The idea is to mount the sub with the driver on the outside. FG 360.2 on the left, MTX 4244 on the right and i wan to hide all of the wires on the inside (drill holes and such).

I agree looking good...

If we learn from each success and

each failure, then we can improve ourselves

ok, i just finnished putting 2 layers of mat and 3 layers of cloth over the sub box part and 2 layers of cloth over the amprack part. Should i cover the racks witht the same amount as the box? Note: the bos is seperated from the racks. When i build it i cut MDF to make sure of it and i hot glued the fleece to the MDF walls to make sure that that there was to soace for air to travel. I still plan on using some kind of sealing agent on all of the internal corners, plus all of the wood is woodglued to eachother.

Should it be fine like that? or should i put more layers on the racks. Tomorrow, if its all dry, i'm gonna see how much weight i can put on it (starting with dum bells and homefully ending with me [about 280lbs]).

the whole weight factor plays into the combustion the sub puts into the box, so if a 280 pounds guy can stand on a small fiberglass box, im pretty sure a few pounds of pressure, so 35 max, is gunna blow the box to pieces, its a whole strength/design structure test

I'm pretty much done.The FG help my weight fine (i even hopped a little). There was no flex at all. Now i just need some input. Should i go for the riced out look and sand, prime and paint. Or should i go for the clean look and sand a little bit and carpet the whole thing. Right now i'm thinking carpet so i can cut down on sanding.

What do you thinkg?
