i've got my 10w3v2 now so the w6 is outta the question... i've already started to grind the hole bigger with my dremel...harder than i thought but its gettin there and i'll get it in tonight...then i'll hook it up and see how it sounds  hehe  sooo anxious!!

i didn't have to add acetone to the resin. it was just polyester resin made by BONDO. i made about 2 ounces at a time and placed 3 inch strips of different lenghts around the box...then to make it smooth and paintable i used body filler... many batches to get it to where i liked it (had a few low spots in the shape)

a great thing that i learned from this forum is that if you make a batch or body filler, then add an ounce or so of fiberglass resin to it... it becomes very soupy and easy to spread!!!   but never had a problem with the resin being thick.. unless i waited too long while putting it on and it gelled up!!  so i just put less hardener in it.

by the looks of it you could be an incredible fabricator.... glad to hear you got your hands on the sub. I have always tried to avoid that resin/bondo thing, didn't think it would turn out well...... but i dont see any problems with that enclosure. Will have to try that.

thank you!!

the bondo resin mix was neat because it spread on really easily...didn't stay where you wanted it to..but spread easily!! helped alot to male it even across the surfaces that wern't that perfect!!

Real sweet man, it is exactly what I want to do with my Elantra GT Hatch. Awsome!

Defective is right though! What kinda ride is it in (I missed it earlier).  You should make a few and sell them on e-bay for $200+, make some scratch and get your self a new amp or a set of components?
