Part 2: Customizing the Box
This video covers the design and production of custom template created insert shapes that mount to the front of the box and can be used to accent and tie to other parts of the install. These techniques can be used on other aspects of your install like custom door panels, and more.

Part 3: Molding the metal mesh
Molding metal grill mesh gives a very custom look to our box, you could use this technique to hide a port, or protect the speaker itself.
