The good news is that I finally did sell out the run and broke even. I was concerned though, because of the 55 shirts I had made, I ended up shipping 12! to the land down under. I figured 55 shirts would easily be sold - took almost a full 2 months iirc.

Depending on what kind of amp(s) you use, you might run into cooling problems in the storage bins.

I run mine under the seats and one inthe back. I've got heated seats for when it's cool outside 1400 watts and ten speakers. No cargo space lost!

Those look really good. I might be interested. I'll have to see the finished product. As of right now, I'm just trying to get my car running, after that it gets painted and cleaned up, and then come the goodies. I still dont know enough about the system I want to decide just yet, but this might be a start.

What would really be cool is if you could order 'blanks' of the boxes. I dunno if I'm being clear, but right now I really dont care or have time to explain.

Do you mean with the face not cut in any way? That should be doable.

It would be very simple to make a mold for those. The problem is that by the time whoever goes to all the trouble of making them, no one will want to pay for them. Time is money and working with fiberglass properly takes alot of time to do right and costs more than wood. If they can't be made and sold cheaply, they won't sell. Since they will not sell for enough money to even be worth the effort, they shouldn't even be made for sale in the first place, regardless of how cool they are. I gave up trying to sell things here a long time ago. I prefer being the unique one anyways.

They were not done last week When I went to see. The guy had a big show to get ready for and did not get to work on it much. He has done the first layup and now is working on building it up.



If no one buys any of them, Then I will still have one for me.
