yeah holds weight fine :) the mesh is pretty strong, and unless i drop something that is super heavy (100 plus lbs) and smaller than the size of hte opening direclty onto the opening area, nothing will affect it hehe

yeah a graphics shop did them for me locally.

tint i called in a friends shop for a favor, all 7 windows plus sunroof for 200 bucks :)

Hey bing... I have done a couple of stereo installs, but I'm looking to get into fabricating some stuff (sub boxes, kicks, etc.) Can I do some sub boxes for in the sides of my trunk using the same general steps you did for your kicks? (masking tape, fiberglass, dampening) Would you recommend using fiberglass mat rather than cloth?

By the way, your install looks awesome!

You can build fiberglass box, but you will need to put more layers. If the place, where you are going to fiberglass is relatively flat, use cloth, if its really curvy, use mat. they make mounting rings out of 3/4 MDF and follow the procedure. You will need more than just the fleece also, like 2-3 more layers of fiberglass on top.

for side boxes, bsaicalyl think of it as a big kick panel...

remember to mask it off liberally...and make SURE you dont pull the mold out until letting it full dry, fiberglass has a nasty habit to warp over certain temp changes, so just leave the mold in there for a good over night period before pulling it off :)
