    More progress, unfortunately I ran out of deadener. I'll order some more and hopefully finish it next week.

    Amazingly enough, I got the headliner back in too. Now I just have to get everything else back in.

    Weekend plan:

    Build sub enclosure. I may not be able to finish it. Plexiglass was supposed to ship on Tuesday but I haven't received any tracking information.

    Mock up amp placement so I can get the cable lengths so Joseph can build my RCA cables.

    Hopefully finish up sound deadening on the floor and B-pillars.

    In the mean time, Ed Rice and Darin Laughard are working on something special for under the hood.

    I had big plans for this weekend, then my helper Murphy stopped by and he brought all of his laws with him. What should have taken a few hours ended up taking all weekend.


    Enclosure pieces cut and primed.





    Boot covered in man glitter.





    I'm doing a double front baffle with the T-nuts on the outer piece. Due to that I had to counter sink them a little. Obviously my free hand router skills are lacking.






    Since I am using plexiglass I decided to use screws instead of brads. I didn't want to take a chance on missing with the brads and messing up the inside of the box.





    All screws pre-drilled and countersunk.





    Second baffle applied.





    All seams were then giving a coating of fiberglass resin inside and out to make sure the box is completely sealed.





    I then painted it and it looked like crap.





    So, I decided to paint it with SEM textured black paint. Unfortunately, it once again looked like crap.

    After that I called it a day. Then this morning I went to Lowe's to get more sandpaper and more paint. I spent about two hours sanding it down. After I sanded it down I applied a think layer of bondo over the entire inside of the box to get it as smooth as possible. I then sanded it down, again.






    After all that was done I applied three or four layers of primer. I then had to add a little more bondo to fix a couple of spots but I didn't photo that. I then primed it again, then added three or four coats of Satin White paint followed by a few coats of clear coat. I still need to touch up the black but that will just take a few minutes. Now I just have to wait for the plexi to be delivered.

    I guess I won't have an excuse not to get some work done this weekend. Speaker binding posts and banana plugs arrived today from MCM. Plexiglass arrived from Mr. Plastic (better late than never). I picked up a sheet of both 1/2" and 3/4" MDF from Lowes. Black Hole Tiles arrived as well. On top of that $100 worth of techflex shipped from Cable Ties and More. The paint marker should arrive from Amazon tomorrow to touch up the black on the speaker box.

    Hopefully I can finish the enclosure up on Friday then work on amp racks Saturday and Sunday. I also plan to get all of my measurements for cables so I can get them to Joseph Davis on Monday.

    One additional bonus, I go back to the doctor tomorrow. Fingers are crossed I get rid of the boot / air cast. Three months is long enough.

    Worked a couple of hours this evening. I started by covering the front of the enclosure in beige vinyl. Next I used a round over bit on the plexiglass. Then I did a really crappy job of trimming the plexi on one side to allow room for the LED's. After that I cut out the holes on the outer trim piece. I removed a little from the back to allow room for vinyl and chamfered the front. I will cover it tomorrow. I did a test with the LED's after I finished up.

    Should be sufficient.
