Addingresinto the box is about as straight forward as painting with a brush. Your not technically doing any fiberglass mat or cloth application.
if all you are adding is the resin itself, no additional strength will be added. Rsin by itself is extremely brittle. When it is applied to FG cloth or matting, the resin melts the glass fibers together with is where the strength comes from. The only thing adding resin by itself will do is seal the enclosure from liquid and escaping air.

looks really nice. I love how you made the indent for the wheel well!

If you ever dont feel like carpeting look into Fleckstone. It comes in a spray can and just looks awesome on a box!

Is it mounted to anything or is it heavy enough to not slide around when going around corners? Or does the carpet keep it in place?

its not mounted to anything... im trying to figure out a way to bolt it down so people cant run off with it. i think the friction from the carpet along with the weight is enough to hold it for now. i read something about using velcro to secure it to the floor
although, i just put it back in this afternoon so i havent really driven around a whole lot with them

lol... after researching it, i discovered that it isnt a very recent amp. how old is it? Pat said it works fine and i trust him so it should still be good.
