Update time:
The weather has been warm then cold, so work is sporadic, but I have the box built up with glass and the mounting flanges installed.
The following picture shows the creation of the flanges. I taped off the areas on the firewall where the flanges would be, using painters tape and wax paper. I put a coat of carnuba wax on the tape to help seperation. I installed the box back in the car, making sure it was at the proper mounting location. I then built up a flange using 2oz mat and 18oz cloth, overlapping the box and the flange to ensure it was nice and strong.
 This picture shows the flange cut to shape. The back of the flange is an exact mirror copy of the firewall. (Pss..that's my first shot at the new door panel in the background)
 The last two pics show the box in early sanding steps. I've added some kitty hair to strengthen the box and give it a better shape, and I've used a guidecoat of primer to see where I'm at with the sanding. I hate sanding....Lots more of that to come.

Just a quick question, and other peopel with subboxes, what is the interior volume of the sub box?
Can anyone tell me what the suggested volume is for an 8in sub? I tried looking online and actually wasnt very successful.
Im just curious. After seeing everyone doing all this work since its getting nice, im getting that itch to do something....
