i was just wondering what any pros thought...good, bad, or what a piece of sh*t!  keep in mind its the first complete box i've ever done and i've only been messin round w/glass for less than 7months.

It looks pretty good to me, just you have alot of work ahead of you for paint. You might want to think of adding a brace to in between the subs on both sides.

In not pro, but that looks great to me, what did you use to brace your speaker rings?

it lookas good for not having messed with glass for that long.
what I would do if you are going to paint it is, put a good thick coat of duraglass on it. then sand and shape it as needed. then start with your filler. I recommend Rage Gold(by Evercoat) it sands WAY easier when it is fully cured.
then once you have it pretty close with the filler...hit it up with a good thick coat of feather fill. this will give you a good final coat right before primer.
