    So I will try to not endure any jealousy.

    I'm running 2 infinity 1 kW amps powering 2 1kw infinity subs.

    6 jl audio speakers ( forget what ones but they are fairly nice) 2 in the rear 2 in front and 2 in the center (van) with separate tweeters in the front top.

    1 jl audio amp for the 4 rear speakers and a ken wood for the front, they match very well and provide a beautiful balance.

    Now my centerpiece is my deck. The eclipse mk 7200. My god guys. If the was ever an audiophile deck to be owned it is this one. I scored it for $800 installed a few years ago and the a out of customization is amazing. 24-bit DACs and 32-bit digital signal processor

    I am considering posting pics but my vehicle is rather well known and I would prefer not link my personal life to this forum.

    You could just snap some pics of the interior. At least show us the eclipse!
     
  11. Still have some tape to peel etc.. But making progress on my fiberglass box. Still always to go but it's taking shape. I definitely regret not using any wax or release agent, but the tape comes off relatively easy so you live and learn I guess..

    Have you ever fiber-glassed before?
     
  13. No.. This is my first time. Interesting stuff to work with.
     
  14.  
    I've never worked with it either, really interested to try
     
  15. It's really not too hard, but takes time. Also, be sure to wear protective mask! I tried a paper mask at first and it made me sick because the fumes still made there way through the mask even though I couldn't smell it. Lol. Full 3m respirator works like a charm though.

    Also definitely recommend slow dry resin. I started out with bondo resin from home depot and that stuff dries crazy fast and is impossible to use for a sub box unless you use hardly any hardener.. professional slow dry resin is where it's at. Other than that, just mask your area, apply wax, tin foil or release agent to mask and start brushing/applying fiberglass. Not hard, but like I said, definitely takes time.
