all4spl Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 On the box I have in the truck now since the black stain/poly combo I used almost blacked out the grain I did use 2000 wet dry sandpaper on it and sand it down with that, and then repoly'd afterwards. I don't see a reason why you couldn't buff it but not sure it would be necessary if the poly is applied correctly you shouldn't need to buff it.

DubNDodge Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Let me know if you want or need some tips on stain/poly. Will do man, Thanks! And that box is sexy as hell! I'm not sure what stain I'm going to go with yet. I did a home sub box this summer and it came out pretty good. 1 coat of stain and used 2k grit in between the 3 coats of poly.

Esgedi Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Tuned in. I've always wanted to buy something like a fit, throw a 15 in it on stupid power, and break necks when i drive by in a little supposedly eco minded car beating down the block. Fat sub in a little car, it's something special. Don't trust a shop but you personally just smoked two decks, makes sense. 03' Trailblazer LTDayton Designer 6.5"s & Silkie tweetersDayton Audio Ultimax 18"Pioneer 9601 & 8604XS Power D34002 runs 1/0Singer 250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all4spl Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 For my box the one on top you quoted, the rings are English Chestnut Brown stain and the main box is Ebony stain minwax brand stain. And the wood is poplar, which does have an effect on the stain color and depth.
