Hey guys, have a look at the pics of my latest enclosure.  It's my 3rd.  Let me know how I'm coming along.  Still have a lot to learn!  Sorry, didn't get any shots of the framework, but I did learn a little trick on this one.  Since this box has a back and a bottom, once I applied several coats of resin to the fleece to get it nice & stiff, I sanded the fleece that wrapped around the bottom off, then I was able to unscrew & remove the bottom piece of wood.  Since resin over fleece is a ton smoother than resin over fiberglass matte, I did all of my structural fiberglass matte work on the inside of the box.  Saved me probably 3 days of sanding work on this one.  Still hell for stout with 4 or 5 layers of glass on the inside.  You have to be sure to glass the inside corner very well though where you sanded through the fleece to remove the bottom panel.  Give it a try though, saves a lot of time!!  Let me know what you think.

stummpy, thanks for the comp.  darreng, just takes time & practice, sanding is the key, has to be smooth as glass before you paint or it'll look like sh*%.  Here are pics of my second one, it was to house (4) 6 1/2" marine speakers to hang from the wake tower of a ski boat.  turned out fair, the graphics on the back were done by a buddy of mine.  The flaws you see on the back are where a bracket mounts & he mounted it before the paint was completely cured.  Thankfully, the bracket covers it & you never see it!

Here are a couple pics of the marine pod being test fit onto the boat after primer & before the paint.

It's a dodge color, patriot blue metallic, but we had the local shop mix it as a single stage instead of base/clear since our customer was on a tight budget.  Thanks a lot.
