kinda looks cool, but I cant see the whole picture on my 24" monitor so I am not quite sure... :shock:

lol

Take a couple from a little farther away and resize them to a 1024x768 so we can see all of what your doing?

It looks like 3 8" subs in the trunk of a Mazda (based on the Mazda book and what appears to be a spare-tire well in the trunk of a car) but I cant quite tell what else is there.

I use hot glue as the braces can be removed after glassing. Unless I've put a brace there for support, then I'll screw it...

good looking start/enclosure.

I have done a few (less than 10 for sure) glass enclosures and it definitely takes some time to get all the kinks worked out, but whats super nice about glass is if you accidentally blow a hole in your enclosure with a sander :whistle: you can patch it up inside and outside, sand it down, add the rest of your layers and its like it never happened. :shifty: then bondo the whole thing, sand it smooth and your golden. and if your doing carpet, you dont even have to bondo it, just sand it "kinda" smooth.

if you are sanding through your enclosure then you might have something out of order.

well, when its your first glass enclosure, your stretching grill cloth and dont really have a clue what your doing - it happens... :) 60-grit sandpaper and a orbital sander doesnt take long to get through grill cloth.
