Any comments or suggestions are ok. I already know that mounting the amp on the box is a bad idea but a put 2 layers of dynamat behind in between for vibration and to give the fan some room, it help out alot.Also the cap is just for look ,it is my distribution point for my amps.

I built the box myself but had it wrapped in matching interior vinyl at a shop.the marbilizing effect is done basically like this: choose the colors that you want and spray a few samples on the same type of material that your going to marbilize.spray one color down completely just like standard base coat. let dry thoroughly,then get enough saran wrap to cover the object you intend to marbilize crumble it into a ball and roll it around in your hands, unroll it, you will probably need a helper for this part .spray your second color down medium wet with a medium reducer make sure you have just about one coat coverage. then let the paint tack up for a minute , now place the saran wrap flat against the piece and gently press the big lines out of it (blowing on it )works good too. leave the saran wrap on for about 30-45 seconds and peel it off from one end to the other. any areas that need to be touched up using a crumbled piece of fresh saran wrap . Just ball the saran wrap up and spray the area with either more paint or sraight reducer (just get it wet, nice coat)and blot the saran wrap on the area. you can do it with as many colors as you like but each coat must be fully dried or it will run through. Just play around with samples until you get the effect you want. if you need any more help just pm me.house of kolor also makes some nice marbilizers that are already colored if you want basic colors ,the same steps apply.hope this helps

did you clear coat it after you sprayed it or did you just let it stay raw> what kind of clear did you use. i can paint but i am only familiar with model paint.

yes they are clear coated you can use any clear coat for this but just make sure that it is the same type of chemical compound that you used on your base coats i.e. acrylic enamel,poly- urethane etc . If it is not the clear coat will separate from the base. Make sure that the base coats are completely dry first.
