Guest markeyboy Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 iv decided to build myself a new install for the boot, i did have this but i blew one of the subs so now there is no need for it to be there anymore and i fancied a change, my new build will have only 1 10" sub with the right size box this time, so this is the progress so far iv been having a little play with fibreglass, never used it before and im relativley pleased with the way its turning out, needs a fair bit of work to get it looking nice tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
