cleaning up the engine bay a bit, removed all the insulation from the firewall and fenderwells, also removed the air pump and pressure washed/ partially degreased the engine pay. looks alot better IMO

Finished putting in the seat, relocating the OBD2 port and just waiting on tires
 Only have 100 miles on the clutch/flywheel so I need to do some breaking in...

Thank You. Yes this was my first fiberglass box, and second ever experience with glass. I'm quite proud. I hope to do my door panels (in my rx7) similar to yours.
I actually did buy the things needed to make a mold so I could reproduce the enclosure. I spent alot of time looking at it near completion, and decided it would be more work than I was willing to do in order to prep it to mold ready condition. It is undercut behind where I would want to put the parting line, so I chose to go ahead and carpet the box and be done with it. I did not think the cost/benefit was in favor of producing copies. 4080 has already sold several of these type of enclosures for the RX8 (before going out of business), so the market demand had pretty much been filled. In a few years that might change as the 1st gen. RX8's become less valuable and more of the younger crowd can afford them.

Yeah that turned out REALLY well, especially considering being your first one. Looks like you've been doing this kind of work for a while. So, how does it sound?

Thanks Guys!
Update: Finally got the wiring for the install and integrated the steering wheel controls to the head unit. Here is my amp mounting solution.        Yes those are Slurpee straws used as spacers. It sounds good. The sub has not yet broken in, but it's still performing very well.

That's pretty cool, easy to get to the controls for adjustment. Nice addition of the Slurpee straws too lol.

Very nice. Back in my youth I did a lot of customer car stereo work but that was when everyone built speaker boxes out of incredibly heavy particle board.
