OK, been working on my sub box...

Here's the frame of it.

Got everything all prepped. Always be as cautious as possible when fiberglassing... that resin is NASTY stuff!

Throw down some glass...

And shortly after, you have a nice hard shell!

Used cardboard to get a template of the sub mount...

Made 2 halves... you'll see

Glue and clamp them together...

Router out the subwoofer mounting (went a little deeper than I meant to... I need a better router!) and test fit.

So there ya go! I still have to build bracing, fiberglass that in, then put the top on, and the front. I was going to do more to the top for more airspace, but it'l only about 0.02 cubic foot by doing so, so I'll skip it for the time being.
