It's getting there...I've been up at school all week and came home yesterday, and it's a slow process when it's very very cold out. The enclosure pretty much looks the same as in the last photo posted, but now has two layers on the t-shirt material. wink.gif

I've had quite a few people ask me for updates on this, so here goes. I've only been home occasionally for a day or two on a couple weekends, and because I always have so much to do when I'm home, I don't get to work on the enclosure much, but here's what's been going on.

I applied a few more layers of fiberglass, then I spread some Bondo onto the enclosure. Since then I've been sanding, applying more Bondo, sanding, applying primer, sanding, applying more primer, sanding some more, and applying even more primer.

The enclosure is now sitting at home with dark gray primer on it, and is very close to completion. I just have a tiny bit more sanding to do, and then I can apply more primer, wetsand the enclosure, and then shoot my base coat, and then shoot the clear coat onto the enclosure. smile.gif

Here are some photos for you guys.

As Doggy pointed out, there's quite the flat spot at the top of the enclosure on the outside ring. So I just applied a bit of Bondo to the area where the flat spot is, and I'll sand down that area once it dries so that it's rounded like the rest of the enclosure. smile.gif

I'll leave you guys with a photo of me getting liberal with the Bondo on this area. wink.gif

very nice coomer, cant wait to see how it ends up, no doubt it will be great. i'm curently making custom dash peaces with fiberglass. its hard enough trying to get my small peaces to dry in 30-40 degree weither, cant imagin how you got that to dry at all.

Yeah looks good bro, I'm looking at doing something very similar. What sub are you going to get? I just picked up a 12" MTX 6000 series nice and cheap & it goes well with the stock speakers.

How are you going to mount the enclosure? Is is removable or are you gonna bolt/hot glue it in place?

Cheers.

I think I actually might not even use the enclosure...I'm thinking that I no longer want my bass to be in the trunk, so I think I'm gonna make something custom, or go with no subs at all.
