Making your own box

for those of you that have made your own sub box - I'd love to see it. Post up some pictures of projects that you've done. My buddy just did his own sub box and it turned out pretty good in my opinion.

Post them up.

Here's my setup.

To save time I used a nice chunk out of a big birch tree. Luckily it was rotting from the inside out so all I had to do was scoop out the middle with a spatula (from spatula city of course).








Actually here's my box. I didn't make this one, but I have made a few like it before. It's just a real simple sealed enclosure. I wanted something I could take out easily for track use.

I've never messed with fiberglass, but I know people do it at home. You need some supplies. Let me find you a list. brb
