...what do yall think so far? I am using some cheap lightning audio 10" subs and an amp I already had (cheap 400 watt 4/3/2 channel 1ohm stable, bridgeable amp I bought from radio shack 6 or 7 years ago), so far I am into the project for about 100 bucks including the cost of the subs. Any pointers would be appreciated since this is my first full 'glass project.

I'm curious about the airspace... is it sufficient for the subs? Also, I am assuming you are planning on adding mroe FG layers yes?

Looks like a good start, keep us up to date.

Yes more layers, as far as the airspace, the subs I got only call for .75 cubic feet for a sealed enclosure.

So you are dividing the airspace then for each sub? Forgive me if I am sounding rude or anything. That is not my intention. I am just making sure that all aspects are fully thought through.

The .75cft is per sub after displacement correct? I guess it is jsut the pictures, but from what I can see, it looks like that after the subs, bracing, extra glass layers, etc, this may not have the 1.5 cft of airspace neccessary to keep both subs happy.

The .75 is what I need with the sub displacement, I have .67 in the passengerside box and .77 in the drivers side.

Pinch on the small side, but that should work on the LAs.

Good job so far! I can't wait to see more
