Just screwed the wood into place so it won't move at all, then slapped some resin and fibreglass on
the end is in sight finally

What it looks like now after some polyfiller...
Next it's just the carpet and we're done!

Haris, amazing buddy, i dont know what to say.
All the hard work has paid off, starting off with no idea where to buy the supplies from, to a finished sub box that works!!!
And all the jokes we had, i cant wait to start a new project in my car!

I don't believe it touches anything to to make it vibrate, that bit is metal anyway and it's screwed in quite tight into the box, and trust the box does not move!
It sounds different, hits notes deeper. I'm guessing thats due to the bigger volume of box compared to what I had.
Forgot to stick before and after pics...
Before..
After...
Loads tidier

Would you recommend making one similar then mate? I'm all up for doing one, but a bit unsure as to how it would sound
