My latest fiberglass framework

I would be done, but somehow I ordered materials from two different places and both of them turned out to be unusable. Now it sits until wed or so.

Its not going in my truck, it is going in a jeep grand greand cherokee limited, I think the guy wants to switch to 4 12's.....those rings are a pain in the *** to make.

The resin has a heck on an aroma to it. Smells like some kind of wierd epoxy paint. Sanding the stuff is what stinks.

after he adds the fabric and resin, it will harden enough that he can cut out the 4 circles for subs, and id assume the square on top will hold an amp
