The zebra will make a reappearance soon I just didn't want to be bleeding on it so I waited, the seams should be solid I coated the outside of the box with resin and let it seep into and spots I felt would leak, and the inside got a bondo/resin coat around the top seam

Yeah I kept laying resin down until the mdf was a nice dark color I didn't want it to break down if it ever got wet, since my hatch likes to leak and having the box molded in I'd probably never bother to look if it happened to leak

Managed to get the box in, just used my old settings on my amp and it can beat the snot out of someones head. I'm loving it, definitely want to turn down my gains though my bass knob is always down under half, anything more and its overkill.
The bass has gained a lot more punch to it, definitely found what I was missing

| Looks good. Wasnt expecting it to sit so low. You could almost do a false bottom to make your trunk area flat? |

yuuup I could lol but that would hide all my hard work lol I wanted a solid box that could allow me to us my t top bag because I don't like putting themin my backseat, the bag can clear the subs by 2 or 3 inches so I achieved my goal

| Man you need an LED in the well light. Looks like it's dimming a lot from the LEDs in the box. |

I took the trunk light out, the LEDs draw milliamps at the most lol since the new box and the rewire my voltage quit jumping around I can have my music all the way up at idle with minimal voltage drop, maybe half a volt at the most
