At last the story continues on the sub enclosure........

.....so the fabric "bridge" I'd created to join the back wall to the MDF box sagged under the weight of the resin. I saw it as it happened but there was nothing I could do and figured it could be easily corrected afterwards. Well, when "afterwards" came along it turned out to be a pretty bad sag. I tried to just fill it but the glass got ridiculously thick and I came to the decision that I was never going to get it flat like this.

Finally, I just cut the damned thing off:



You can see when I laid the MDF on it just how bad that sag was and how thick the glass was getting:



So now with only a bit more glass I finished the roughing:



Next, of course comes the filler. Here is the "finished" box being test fit in the truck:




I just had to get it "smooth enough" because from here I brought it to an upholstery shop where they covered it with vinyl:




The whole idea behind that is so I can have the "pebbly" texture to match the interior. It looks black in the above pic but it is actually a dark bluey-grey

And now tonight I have begun the final assembly.

Here is a set of crossovers:



And a teaser pic of where I'm going with this:



But that is it for tonight. Tomorrow I should be able to get the majority of the assembly complete.

Please stand by............
