The finish with the cans comes out okay if you put the work in -- not as nice as a professional job though, and the paint is also much softer =/ -------------------- Jay Visaria University of Florida Electrical Engineering

if you need any help let me know, Im only a minute outside of g-ville. If you buy the paint (ben's paint will be the cheapest) I could spray it for you, if you want to do an automotive style. Here is a worklog of an install I did a few months back for one of the owners of Brew-Ha's http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=93403&page=1&pp=20 -------------------- Shawn Fleming Team Fi Team Kicker Team Kinetik Team Powermaster Second Skin Audio Livin Loud Through Fidelity

I really like the style of it.... It seems as though you need to be a bit more patient with the painting process, the flaws are pretty easy to see even in the pics. Next time settle for nothing less than perfect, you have the knack, just employ the principles and make it great.

Hmmm....I was talking about the door pods, I just noticed the sub box. You need a DA and more time making it smooth.

Finished up with my fiberglass box, and got everything installed yesterday. A little more power. The expanding foam in there is to take up a little excess volume. Stuffed with polyfill. -------------------- Jay Visaria University of Florida Electrical Engineering

No stickers.. Let people HEAR it if you wanna show off. Looks great though. I agree with a previous post, you rushed the sanding / painting process. I did the same stuff at first, then I worked at a custom paint shop for a few months, learned how to sand until your hands fall off and the surface is like glass. Paint comes out flawless if you do the right prep. And finding someone to shoot it with good equipment makes things a lot better than krylon. But GREAT first try. If you're happy with it, roll it!
