What's up peeps? Got some more done the past few days, but none of it was actually done to the box... I had to get the car ready, move a bunch of stuff. Mostly boring pics, but part of the build, so here they are.

First I started pulling all the panels.

So I could remove the breaker box, all the cables, and the crossovers

Spare wires anyone?

Then I started running the new wire

Sexy!

Then I pulled the front seats to mount the 4ch in it's new home

And how bout a new nifty spot for the crossovers, right close to the amp, out of the way

389025_271028996266433_100000780034606_676756_525272621_n.jpg

And after sever hours of re-routing wires, I was getting close

299024_271029066266426_100000780034606_676759_758281470_n.jpg

All done! Neat and out of the way!

From the back, seat slid all the way forward

And the new crossover rack (still needs covered)

387015_271029169599749_100000780034606_676762_92147820_n.jpg

And last for today, I got the base cut.

Tomorrow I'll get some carpet and try to get more done.

I'm thinking about just covering the box in carpet, to save time, since it's getting cold.

Plus I'd like to save the glassing idea for my upcoming DC build!

Okay, well after much thought, and some help from some of you, I decided to go ahead and paint the box.

So today, the first thing I did was to get the base attached to the car

307759_271487016220631_100000780034606_678099_827275759_n.jpg

Then I started filling holes and sanding and routing

I know I have said this many times, but EXCELLENT work my friend. Very thorough and meticulous. I love the crossover location and set up, almost seems like you should throw some plexi across it to show it off a little. Keep it up.

Thank you, it really does mean a lot for someone to notice the amount of time and effort I put into my work! :drinks:

And the plexi idea is a DAMN good one! I even have a nice piece that will work out perfect for that! Thanks again!!! :clapping:

Okay, so I was at it bright and early this morning ready to get my box and base all coated with resin.

First was to line them up and drill out the holes for joining them together.

380025_271916312844368_100000780034606_679085_689025686_n.jpg

Then I got a good first coat on the base and the bottom of the box

302480_271916406177692_100000780034606_679088_1534764493_n.jpg

Then the clouds started to roll in, and fast! FML!!!

316753_271916479511018_100000780034606_679090_618332981_n.jpg

So I said effit and put it all away, and made another trip to Lows and Wal-Mart

And here I am, waiting out the rain.

I have talked my Dad into letting me clean out his building and use it this winter to do my door panels, but I think he may let me clean it tomorrow instead so I can get this box finished!

Oh and btw, the materials I bought tonight to finish were

1 - gallon 3M fiberglass resin (already used the first gal)

7 - cans of paint (Black Night Metallic)

6 - cans of flat black cheap paint

2 - cans of primer

2 - cans of gloss clear

paint rollers

sandpaper

gloves

extra hardener for resin (I like to use a lot)

Acetone (for clean-up)

I spent $100 tonight, and when it's all said and done, I will have around $200 in my box, not including labor. Which IMO is WELL worth it!

Anyway, stay tuned for some finished pics in the next few days. And thanks for checking this out! :clapping:

You are very welcome. I'm honored someone of your level would even consider my opinion. I'll shut up and continue to watch.

Just paint it inside the house. You will FEEL much better while you work! :)

Why do you think I like playing with fiberglass resin so much :peepwall:
