That little illustration just looks like a pair of breasts to me... stereotypical bloke thought! but yeah I know what you are describing, would have to be a small amp to put in the middle! remember within reason the bigger the box compartments the better it will sound as a rule! and the less likely to blow apart the glass fibre...

Well I finished it yesterday, its carpeted all over, inside and outside, I did take some piccys before I carpeted it I think and il see if I can upload then tonight! the edges where I had fibreglassed over the wood stuck out due to extra thickness but used filler to blend it in a bit and I looks fine now!

I think my box is alot larger than yours, not as professionally done but Im well happy with it! sounds good!
Ever considered doing a quick guide for amp glass fibre instructions? not for me, but for other members!?

[QUOTE=liam_b;2724435]liking that whats your next plans for the car?
Cheers Liam , at the mo im working on a centre speaker build for a 10cm component and single tweeter, its not for 5.1... its because the tiny speaker that comes with the nokia bluetooth car kits are crap and I thought a component would give alot more volume and clarity! its only a quick mod to be honest, more functional than asthetic!
Then I think I might do something about the faded front grill! cut the fins, fibreglass it flat and mesh it with ss mesh and spray black to keep it subtle!

I would have made myne bigger but I wanted to keep the weight down, so used as little MDF as possible, is yours pretty heavy id imagine? bet it would be a bugger to steal unlike myne! lol
