WOW!!!!! Thats awesome...
Mind if I pick your brain for a second? How did you make that? How do you mold with fiberglass? Did you take pics while you were doing it. Reason I ask is because I want to do a mold with fiberglass for my tweeters.

yeah i vahe pics of it in progress. andthe same for the kick pods i made.... you basically make a frame in teh shape you want. then wrap it in a clotch and then put fiberglass resin on it
then some mroe cloth and resin
you cand o that as long as you like,for strength. then you can sand it and cover it in bondo to shape it. its pretty easy stuff.

It looks like you're off to a good start, but if you learn how to shape and sand Bondo, I think you'll be a lot happier with your future results.

I made a complete fiberglass box for mine...But I didnt had time to do the sanding and filling so I wrapped it in tweed...Tweed forms to the shapes good and looks good...Maybe when I swap the box to my new car I'll pull off the tweed and finish it smooth...But the rest of my interior is tweed wrapped so it kinda fits, lol

Don't get me wrong, it looks good, but it could look so much better, but its pretty good for a first try. so I say

I could go surfing on those waves. 
Just messin' with ya. It looks good.
But the real question is, how's it sound? That's all that really matters.

the yellow one looks similar to mine. for any one else who tries this I suggest you might want to consider putting the amp at the bottom of the pit and then building the box on to that way your amp isn't tempting, you retain cargo space and most important of all. No wires everywhere!

Thats a tight box, well made bro! theres a place near me called Civic Audio (and no...it's not a r*cer oriented place due to the name), and they sell boxes like that. Pretty tight stuff actually!
Again, nice work!
