[QUOTE=JustJeff;131578I was doing it in the summer so I'd do a few layers and set it in the sun to bake a little. Then come back and do more.[/quote]

Really? Do you remember what brand you were using? Most of the poly resin that I use, even the West System stuff will kick off in about an hour.

yeah, that would be the biggest concern for me too.

One thing to keep in mind though. This is my second box I've made for that same location. I originally made a box for a JL 10" sub and it was a poor choice. JL subs..um..W3 and up are great subs but that was a poor location for them. You are limited with how much airspace you can give them. Also the pressure from the speaker was rattling all that flimsy molding where the top folds down.

Later I scored a Boston Pro 8"...after much looking. I specifically was looking for that one for it's reputation. I've always loved Boston Pro speakers and the 8" is well known for needing minimal volume for great sound. IIRC it only needs .5 cubic feet of volume in a sealed box. The tighter sound of an 8" sub works much better under the rear deck. That's all IMHO. I personally hate subs that rattle the car. I'd much rather hear a tight, accurate bass than try to peal the pavement with SPL and shitty unbalanced music that is so bass heavy the other sounds from the music are muted in comparison.

Getting back to the box. I've had zero issues with it since it was completed. I'll post up some pics of it tomorrow or over the weekend.

I love me some Boston Pro's, I've been thinking about swapping out my 10" shallow mount Alpine for a Boston.....

It's been so long since I did it that I'm having trouble remembering the details. I'll get it out of the car over the weekend and I"m sure it will all come back to me.

No need to take anything apart, although I do appreciate it, a few pics of the finished product will do just fine. Thanks again, I appreciate it.
