well i had wrote in here a while back to get info on how to do good glass work. well i finished and finally got a digi camera.It's aall fiberglass box of 5 layers. I put a fleckstone texture for it to look like carpet . the speakers are 8's and i love the way it sounds and the space i have saved. I might put two more on the oppisite side Oh yeah in case your wondering its in a ford focus zx3.

I think it looks great. How did you secure it to the car?
The texture looks good. Could have been slightly darker to match your interior, though.

Two 8s on the opposite side with the same enclosure would look sweet.

Those 8s look huge in the pic, prolly cause they are in a focus though, prety small to begin with.

As the father of 3 girls (8, 5, 1y) and one boy on the way I can say: It will be a long, long time before your trunk is yours again, there is always something to put in it. The enclosure is cool, i like it : ) However, that amp installation is not cool. You want to be cool don’t you? Mounting the amp and cleaning up the wiring, that’s cool. Besides looking cool it will be more protected from the stuff you put in the trunk if the wiring is not exposed and the amp is in a better place. Be cool, finish the job. "I spit in the faces of people who do not want to be cool." (Its a joke, some people may get it...) ------------- What will you get for Christmas, bad boy? Coal........or Visonik?? - stevdart

Where'd you get the texture from? It's a kind of flock? I've been looking all over for it.
