Could you make up a design for this enclosure? And what truck did it fit

Yea no problem. But there’s some discrepancies lol for one the seat will be raised up a bit because I cheated the front height a little. If not the box sticks out past the seat an inch and a half. But he said he was fine with it sticking out a bit. 

Whoop look who’s back. Lol  he liked it so I got it back to make it look pretty. I saw miles dye his box and I liked it so went ahead and tried my hand at wood dyeing. Tried to color match my friends truck but it came out more on the green side. 

 

I used the spray can lacquer but it it just wasn’t leaving a nice thick coat of clear so I got impatient and switched to the brush on poly lol.

i bed lined the back and under the box and stained cleared and tried to buff all the visible parts. 

I also vinyl wrapped the spacers to help accent the box.  All in all I’ll try more projects with this stain and clear coat. Maybe if I added more coats of clear it would’ve gave that thick coat I was looking forward. 

I like the dye! Also, to get a nice glossy finish, once your poly is dry then lightly sand with 4/0 steel wool, and apply another coat.

Thanks for the tip. I seen videos where they said use 220 so I did and I felt like I fucked it up lol. But that steel wool should do a nice light scuff job. I should’ve used the wood conditioner. After this project I looked up how to stain and finish a wood and that conditioner makes a big difference in helping eliminate blotching. And what not. What type of wood did you use? The grains didn’t pop as I anticipated. I used birch. I was thinking I should’ve burned it a bit first to maleness the grains dark. But idk. It’s all new to me lol

Wish I could see the truck we are working with here.

That is the hope.

Any vids of it in action in vehicle?  Thoughts?

It sounded great. For what it is and the space allowed I was blown away and it brought a smile to my face. Yea I heard louder set ups, but to be able to play a wide band width and hit the lower notes with authority I was impressed and pleased.  Deffinetly two thumbs up. I’m not sure sure if it played how it did because I stuffed three drivers in there or what. So I’m not certain if a dual 8 set up would be as impressive or not.

The build quality was top notch. Very sturdy, had some weight to it. I disliked the direct leads though idk it could just be me.  And unfortunately I did not take some action vids while I was with him.
