Started My Glassing Project!

Me and my partner who build custom enclosures for customers here locally finally started on my glass trunk setup.....

We are using two JL Audio 10w3 DVC subwoofers 4ohm running at 1 ohm powered by a Ma Audio rack style amp it supplies 750watt RMS at 1 ohm...the internal volume is roughly 2.50 cubic feet and the port will be tuned at 40 hz....we made the slide out amp rack from an office desk keyboard drawer ..so far our design is turning out nice we still have much to do this is all we did to day for one day of work all done in my back yard...the box will be painted metallic silver and the amp rack will be painted black...

I started the long hard process of sanding today using a palm sander and 60 to 80 grit sand paper...this part of the process is very time consuming but fun overall...later on I will add bondo to various spots then prime and sand more then get ready for paint......
