I'd say it's looking pretty good. Next comes the wild world of sanding and filling. Pretty soon the specialty shops will be trying to woo you away from Best Buy.
One thing I'd mention is to use more staples or use a "plug" in concave areas. This will make your cloth lay flatter and will help minimize finishing work.

WOW, thats gona be a bitch to sand. CAH is right about using the plugs, it saves time and head ache when it comes time to sand. Anyway, forgot to complement you, that is still a sweet looking box. What are u putting into it as far as amps and subs go?

Looking good, could you guys explain these "plugs" as you call them, and what they do? I'm still learning even though I've used FG many times.

Looks great so far. Do not forget to test fit it int the vehicle before you get to far. you dont want to have a finished box you cant fit in a trunk.. unless its an suv then no worries.  By the way is it your personal set up or for a best buy customer?

Plugs are just that, a plug. You basically cut a second piece of MDF exactly the same size as the ones on the box. For instance, ur making a subwoofer ring, make a solid piece the same size as the outside of the ring. Once the ring is mounted lay the fleece over this, then using predrilled holes screw down the top piece(or pieces if u have multiple holes or racks but make sure to strech the fleece between each of them). Then screech the crap out of the fleece. What this will do is give you a flatter surface around the rings/racks that makes sanding and finishing alot easier than trying to gut and fill those staple crimples.
