yah i goofed when cutting out one of the 8 holes after i glassed it but luckily i didnt cut it too much so it still gets sealed ill probably just build it out with some glass and bodyfill it so it looks round again.
but the insides of the pods are glassed so they should be strong enough.

ill take pics in a minute but i wired up my 4 channels. gotta get an audiocontrol and rca's and wire up a relay before i can do my remote wires. waiting for my mm4000.1 plate im mounting it to, to dry so i can mount it on the rear wall. looks like a mess right now but hey will be hidden by the seat and wires will be ziptied cleaner when its all said and done.
base plate for the 4k to mount too on the back wall
didnt want to drill a hole through the back wall for the speaker cables to run so i just ran it behind the plastics and to the rear through the window. it will be glassed over with speakers on it so u wont see the wires
and for fun my vicious 11 week old male "SPIKE" 1/2 bluenose 1/2 rednose pit

right, but its better to be safe incase you're ever in an accident.
Instead of welding angle iron...have you thought about just drilling down through the box (or drilling up) and doing some long carriage bolts?
Thats how we did the box in the white truck, 4 like 8'' grade 8 carriage bolts with big washers on both sides.
Just tossing out some ideas

Primed but too many flaws to paint. im gonna go ahead and install the speakers and everything and worry about painting after i finish all the pods. i have spots i must fix before i think about painting but overall for my first time making pods like this im pretty happy.

invest in the router and the proper bits and depth guages. but hey, at least you put in the effort to round it one way or another. You deserve a gold star!

will be louder and cleaner as soon as i pick up my audiocontrol so i can adjust each set of speakers to how they should sound since im gettin too much vocals out of the 8's. tweets are at 0 gain anymore than that and u cant hardly stand it. the midbass feels like 130db haha. its great sometime ill meter it for kicks after i get my DQXS
