ok guys so far everyone beens so help ful and thank you, right now i have to finish my enclousers, i still have some sanding to do, i have to put in some speaker terminals (thnx austincustoms) then i need to sand some more, bondo, and sand some more, then finaly carpet it....did i miss anything? soooo, while i was waiting for the resin to dry up some, i thought i would do a little bit of work on my floor for the trunk. what i have in mind is a mdf bottom for mounting the amps and stuff to and making a false floor above that, thats where i am stuck at. i want to make it where i have a plexi glass over the amps to show them off (maybe some neons) and the rest a carpet that matches the trunk....the plan is to fiberglass around the wall of the trunk and the speakers to make the floor fit perfectly along with the walls of the trunk and the speaker enclousers, here are some pictures of where i am at so far... please guys tell me whats on your mind and thanks again :)

o btw that gray is mdf, i saw some laying around at home depot that was cut in half and some kid sray painted the doller color on it for me and i got an awsome deal ( $50 worth of wood for 2 dollors :))

Nice cleans cuts and angle, stay focused on it and it will continue to go as you want.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

Hmm... well I'll have one of the guys take a look at the pics and see what he says. But from what I can tell, it seems you know what you are doing and have done your research. Keep us posted ^-^

Good Luck!

Yeah that will work. You won't need the twist locks. Spread a thin coat of wood glue (hold) and brad nails that are 1/8" longer than the thickness of the wood. (for tacking) As the glue dries it will shrink slightly and pull hte wood tighter. Once it fully cures, it'll be harder than the wood itself. Also, we recommend that once all the pieces are put together power sand the edges and cut areas to clean them up.

Good Luck!
