:) Tables are wood too! LOL. And they are laminated on one side for that slick bassy goodness. If all goes as planned, it will be done in about a month. Actually taking my time on this one. When I rush I get pissy and make mistakes.

I like that idea of the white for where the subs are. I might have to use some crazy material to get that color, but that might be the way to go.

It doesn't look like much- but it kinda' was. Got the back in and glued, got internal braces done, figured out how the amps will go, wired the subs in the box, began paint, and picked out some carpet for the sub face.

My wife actually said she was ready to see some work done so she could hear it! Gasp! The wifey interested in the stereo?? Crazy.

I plan on working on it all day tomorrow. It is quite possible that it will make noise.... but maybe not. :)

X2, I was thinking the same but it looks very solid. The only thing I would do is add a layer or two of glass inside to smooth everything out. Otherwise can't say a thing, looks stout.

More pictures! I played all day, and the wife helped me out a lot. Most of the stuff was tedious (for me) so it took a while. Took my time getting stuff pretty b/c once it is done it is done for good.

I thought about doing the resin inside- but it is def. too late now. I don't think it would make all that much difference for daily. Trust me, it is sealed solid. There isn't a place where two pieces of wood come together where there isn't another in the corner of that. It is pretty solid. :)

Carpet done for subs. Went with a black with speckles (or whatever) It isn't solid black so it hides the dirty. Painted the sides and port black.

Woot! I am going to have to redo my amp board for my highs- which is going to suck and take some time. Also I had a bit of a washer diameter problem that kept me from testing the boom only.

There will be vids as soon as she is up and runnin! :)
