Thanks! Not decided yet. I wanted to make a fiberglass cover for it but I made a mistake in making the rack just barely fit and afraid the cover would be to large. I am thinking if I don't make a cover i might vinyl top it since it would be easier to keep clean but not sure yet.

That thing looked HUGE in the first shot. Like damn, "is he going to put that in a van or something, but then after you put it in the bug, it looked right.

Nice job man. Hope you get the second amp funds going.

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.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I wish I had the skill to sand it for painting but alass I do not. I'm still pushing for a FG cover that I might take to a pro shop and have them finish sand and shoot the paint.

I've already done FG kick's and carpeted them. Next on the todo list is a sub box for behind the seat. Still no clue what size speakers I am going to go with though lol.
