As for status updates;
Things didn't went how I planned them to go for this summer. My Fiero is still not on the road (Had to swap the engine and an other load of stuff.) I ended up getting a full time job (60 hours per week, 6 days a week) so I only have one day to work on personnal projects. I got the idea through that I won't have a car this summer (I have to re-drop the craddle and everything) so I basically decided to turn around and make the enclosures.
I openned up the new gallon of gelcoat i got (Since I ran out a while ago), when I openned it up the gelcoat was tacky and cristalised. It's the second one I get that went bad on me. My supplier is 2 hours away from me and arent open the sunday therefore I am a little stuck for material. I'm going to try to find other supppliers nearby.
Looks like thing just can not go well for both my car and fiberglass project. There is ALWAYS something... -__-

Can you order the gel coat off the interwebs? Would it be cheaper that way (and kind of make up for losing 2 cans already)?

interwebs? you mean ordering it online?
Anyways, had a fiero friend that was passing by so he dropped it off for me. The company said that with time it will crystallize on the cover, and whats left of it becomes gel. Though i found it wierd that I bought it this winter and it already went bad with me barely using it (Since all my projects were on hold).
Now I took a different kind of gelcoat which is supposed to last longer. We will see how that will go.
As for updates, I made an other enclosure which is still in the mold as we talk.

If the gelcoat is just cosmetic I would think a bunch of us would be wiling to forgo if its causing you huge headaches...

Its not only cosmetic, it helps throughout the whole process. Beside, it was a headache for all my fiberglass project. Now don't worry, I have enough for a while and it shouldn't be a problem... at least for this year. lol

Hi Black Pegasus, any progress on this project? Did the gel coat work?
How many more weeks until you retire this project for the year and the car goes back in storage/you to school? Do you think it will be done this year, or will it he next summer?
Let us know if there is anything we can help with.

Hi again!
Sorry it took some time, but I now have some pictures! Here is our prototype:
And here is the fitting (The fitting under the dash is the same as the red one though):
I've found the perfect spot to link the wires to pass them inside of the enclosure. I had the choice between those two connectors, one (On the left) is like a trigger push and the other one (On the right) is like a nut:
For this one, I've put the "Nut" like one:
Here is both of the speekers installed in the enclosure:

Nice. How much for two?

That be awesome. I don't know if they're done yet though. Waiting to hear back from Black Pegasus.
I like the banana plugs more personally, but either method of mounting would work great. People with more SQ audio experience should chime in here.
