Thank you bro!! I'm trying to make this build very simple where it feels like oem (since it's my daily driver), but when you pay attention to the details, they give the wow factor.. I'm really excited for this build! Stay tuned for the week after next, I have some BIG updates coming :ph34r:

I try to mention anything one would encounter if they wanted to do the same...

And I appreciate it!!

Another thing you could've done, is cut out a round for each sub hole, and wrapped the carpet into each sub hole, pushed in the rounds, and then after a while when they dried, you could've cut the carpet in the corner and it would've come out smooth an easy and you wouldn't even have had to paint. You may not see much paint after the subs are in.

Looks good though. I still like a good old fashioned carpeted enclosure!

Thank you sir!! I actually considered wrapping it around the lip, but I wanted to show as much paint as possible since its subtle... I actually test fitted a sub today and even with the grommet around the sub, you will be able to see the paint pretty well.. I did kind of want to kick my self for not filling in the edges where the layers show in the paint, but the way the baffle is smooth and the edges have the grooves showing, it will actually look pretty freaking nice from what I imagined in my head.. almost like a two tone/texture paint job... And I actually chose carpet this time for the durability.. I didn't like how easy it was to chip the paint on my last enclosure showing some bare wood when something rubbed against it.

But thanks for tuning in bro!! Big updates coming up when I get off vaca next week!

Picked up my door panels today and oh my LORD!! Pics do no justice!! (and sorry no pics lol)

Also picked up 2 of my 3 Sa's locally and waiting for the other to ship along with my HSK130s

The brother's and sister's are waiting on their other siblings to make it home

Also was surprisingly about to get a head start on painting my enclosure!! Got it all taped up to perfection and primered!! should be ready for a little wetsanding when I get off work preparing for the base coat and clear when I get back off vaca on monday...

2 light coats

3rd coat, but heavy.. will wet sand this coat before painting the base coat!

I still have to receive everything in the mail so I probably wont be able to have it fully playing by the end of next week due to my car being painted (fixing dents, scratches, painting my roof, calipers and engine cover) BUT she will be playing the following week for sure!!

Also decided to snatch out all my SHCA wire and run KnuKonceptz .. The quality seems to be a little bit better from my experience imo, so since this will be red ruby last build for a while, it's only right, everything gets done its best, with the best material I can afford! Also have some other goodies coming thats non audio related.. I'll post them too when the time comes
