RX-8 pics (NSF56k)

update!!

here is my progress thus far:

1. the flush mount sub ring
2. ring with sub in it
3. another (you can see how flush it will be)
4. the fiberglass trunk mold (this thing is THICK. they say you should be able to stand on it, but i was jumping on it)
5. false amp floor with half of fiberglass sub box

i still need to mount the ring in the fiberglass mold and stretch the fabric over it and finish fiberglassing the rest of it. after that, i will bondo and prep for paint.

i also need to to router out the lip for the plexi in the amp floor window and carpet it to match the trunk.

after that, i need to buy new front speakers. then i just need everything hooked up. :D

tonight i managed to mount the ring in the box and stretch the fabric over it to get it ready for fiberglass. alos, this is what it will sort of look like once its installed in the car. i made it as big as i could. it only has about 1/2" of room to get it through the trunk opening
