Hey man just pm fritos. His schedule is more busy than mine. I still get a day off on the weekend.

Hey its time for pics

Note that I have not sanded it yet and this is my first attempt and modifying anything plastic.

Thats after putting the bracing in and adding the styrene face. Plastic weld is cool, but man is it messy. Wish it came in a soringe with a mixing nozzle.

After applying some model plastic filler. Thanks again Gianni.

I let the filler dry and got it too thick and it cracked. gonna sand it down and see if that gets rid of the cracks, then paint and more. cant wait to finish it and install my voltmeter.

Well Darvex is great. My apartment complex isnt. The box came tuesday and the manager wasn't there at 2:30 pm. she was like, I had to run an erand. I was pissed. Wednesday I head up there after work and she fuckin closed 30 min early. Finally I head up there on my lunch break and she is out for the rest of the week. I was like DDAAMMNNN IT! i was lucky enough to get the maintenance guy to open it up and finally got my stuff. WOOOT!

Here it is.

And there you have it. I have no idea when I am going to get to it. Should be fun explaining this to Tiff.

Hey guys Im tkennedy88 and I am new to the site. I will start with an old build that was about a year ago. fritos took an old box that he had made for him housing two kenwood 12's and modified for me to what you see in front of you. This build was in a 2002 focus wagon. My dad gave it to me when I started college, honestly I think he wanted my truck. anyway I just liked the gas mileage and the ride was smooth. Anyway here are some mods I did when I started to get into this stuff. Since I have not had the time to build a box of my own and fritos knows all the tricks, I let him do my boxes. Lets get started with the focus build.

The cheap headunit that worked great for what I wanted. I stayed with the car when I gave it back to my parents and got the Jimmy.

The Amp. Another item I owe to fritos.

The box outside the car.

I like the kenwood subs

Inside the car.

And finally, the my favorite thing that fritos made for me, which i wish i could take credit for is this

Now its the Jimmy build. I still have some work I want to do to this build, but here it is now.

The boxes.

Next I will enclose the back end. Make formed pieces to surround the box and make a fan system to help cool the amp that I need to shoot a pick of.
