Started in May and slowly worked on off and on. My very first attempt at fiberglassing.

I know I skipped some steps but I didn't take pics on those. Here it is after the paintjob. I used spraycan dupli-color because I'm cheap. The decal was custom made for me on ebay. Only 8$ shipped here...pretty good deal.

So pretty. Question and comments welcome. I should of clear coated it but the guy at pep-boys wouldn't sell the spray paint to me because I'm 17 what a crock of sh*t so maybe I'll do it later. This is currently in my single cab f150.

Pretty crappy one for right now, atleast by all the people with 1,000$ to drop on systems in this forum LOL. But, it is a MA audio HK400D. I think it's actually pretty nice. Definitly bumps. I am saving up to buy a Diamond D61000.1 though.

Very, very nice box, it seems like this isn't your first box, just your first fiberglassed box?

That is definitely crap that the guys at pimple-boys won't sell you the spray paint heh.

For being 17, you seem extremely knowledgeable about car audio from your posts, I thought you were in your 30's haha :-)

Thanks Jexx. Yea It's my second box I've ever made. I need to get a tahoe or something I can experiment more with. I have a single cab truck so my box designs are somewhat limited.

As far as me being 17, beauty of the internet I guess. Makes me laugh too because they wouldn't hire me as an installer at best buy because of my age. I know more than any of those morons.

I think the main thing that taught me most of the stuff I know is here www.the12volt.com everyone on that site is pretty savvy they all do it for a living just about.
