inside the top i used resin and mdf sawdust mixed together like a runny paste and poured it over.....this makes the top very strong...

Very nice! You are running an isobaric setup with 4 subs right?
Have you wired them up yet? Hows it sound? |

That tire profile is off the shelf. How is your ride quality?

That's awesome!
Can it be removed from the car if you want to? Also, for the top part of the sub enclosure, there's only grill clotch coated in resin and resin mixed with MDF dust to provide strength? Does that get really strong? How's the box sound? It looks really good.
