The Top part (green part) is only 1 layer of glass. I will be doing an aditional layer of resin and then a layer of body filler. Then i will do one final layer of resin over the entire box, sand and then primer. ITs going to a professional painter to be painted the same color as my buddies car. Sorry the pictures are so huge lol.

---UPDATE---
Here it is, my dremil cutting bit broke so i only got one hole cut out. I still need to do some spot filling, then primer and the painter is prolly gonna spot fill a bit and sand,prime and then paint.

I am gonna do a little more fiberglass on the inside to make it more rigid.

That pic is so large I can't even get the concept down. Shrink it and repost.

Looking good for your first glass job Would reccomend doing something smaller to start off with , my first box was for 2 10's. Seemed as if it took forever to complete. Would highly reccomend doing something smaller to test your skills on. Fabricating your base, braces and rings, wrapping & resin. And of course, the dreadful Filling and finishing work. A few months back I posted a thread regarding finishing work on boxes for a 'glasslike finish'. I found that doing small projects, say for a single 10' woofer, work great for practice, and are fairly easy to get rid of when your finished. Keep us updated on your work

The box is for a friend. It is going in the backseat of a 95 honda prelude. The box is going to have a DVD Player (no screen) 2 5 1/2'' Kenwood mid's and 2 12'' Pioneer subs. Its not for my car :P And yeah i realize the deck mount is a little off center. Its centered with the subs tho, and because the bottom piece of wood is different size than the top one..its a little off.

But thats for all the great feed back, i jsut did the filler on the top part, gonna sand 2 morrow and do one more layer of filler to tie both pieces together smooth, then one last coat of resin.

Can i mix paint into my resin?

I love working with fiberglass. It is a little frusterating i've noticed :P But i have some sort of strange fetish for curves... so i love putting on the body filler and making nice little curves and then being able to sand it down to perfection. I've NEVER built a sub box n my life before to be honest. I dont even have my own vehicle.
