Amp rack has studs that fasten down to stock trim mounting tabs.
Well be building a crossover tray off the front of the amp rack. Then using 1/2 plywood to create a top (carpeted) w/spare exposed.
Box needs to have a fiberglass bottom baffle constructed, and then carpeted.
It's great progress for only 5hrs work!

Thanks! I'm very happy with the way it came out. After some more glassing it'll be time to wrap it in automotive carpet. Figures the install I would be most proud to show off is going to be 95% hidden. Oh well

Reminds me, I need to pick up some more resin jelly during lunch today.

Small updates today. During my lunch hour I cut and routed out the planar midrange speaker rings!

More updates!
I temp installed my extra set of pillars in the car and marked where I thought I wanted them. Afterwards I noticed one of my marks was 3/8" lower than the other so I worked to square them up. At first I used the bandsaw to cut the trim panels... really wasn't needed. 3 passes with a sharp utility blade cut em like butter. Anyway, here's some pics of them tacked with hot glue. I'll get some pics of them mocked up in the car after work.
