Very nice and tastefully done. What kind of wheels are those? What does a FB enclosure like that run if you dont mind me asking?

Looks perfect. Did they do a color match of the car paint?

Re: Pics of my Custom FiberGlass Enclosure

I built the box myself with a buddy of mine. spent about 300 in material. And alot of long nights. If you went to a audio shop it would prob be well over a 1000 for something like that.

Thanks JustIce , the box is painted body color... looks off since its in the trunk, but its 100% on. It was painted at the same time as my skirts and rear.

Re: Pics of my Custom FiberGlass Enclosure

Thanks

Re: Pics of my Custom FiberGlass Enclosure

damn, I was afraid you were going to say that! haha

I hate bondo. Fiberglassing my sub enclosure was no problem (LOTS of time, but not that hard), but bondo I'm just having trouble making it look really good. I finally got a mechanical rotary sanding bit for my drill, so I should really stop being so lazy and sand down the bondo on there.

Try Rage Extreme. Unfortunately, it is more expensive then bondo but it is much easier to sand and smooth out. Need patience when working with filler. Ignore the urge to start sanding b4 its actually dry.
