Looks good, but I am picky and would pick it apart. RRRRiples.

how many hours do you have in it? overall looks good but could use a good DA sanding.

we spent a lot of hours on it. we don't have air tools or anything. all done by hand. i wish i had a DA sander :( but yeah, there are definetly some things i wanted to fix on that one side w/ the decal on it, but the girl it's for doesn't really care that much and just wanted it done quick. thanks for the comments :)

aside from the ripples and stuff its pretty cool...hows it sound? or have u not heard it yet? maybe block sand with 60 gritt or something...but either way i would be stoked if i was getting a custom fiberglass enclosure even if it had a few ripples...unless i was paying mucho $$ of course, lol.

Looks from the pictures like most of the ripples are on harder to see areas. Pretty nice. ------------- Nik

I think it looks hot, assuming you saw the ripple s and between you and the customer that's cool, I'd say nice job. Sometimes people want fast and or cheap over perfect, and getting them what they want is what it is all about. some want no ripples ,some want it NOW. good work

nope, i don't have any progress pics. but here's an update: we installed it today, and it sounds good.. as good as that amp/sub combo will ever get.. but the girl didn't want to spend any extra money getting new equipment. she doesn't even want an aftermarket deck. but we did add a blue neon tube up inside the amp rack right above the amp.
