Message well, one piece of advice actually, at first I didn't wear latex gloves, big mistake, wear gloves when working with the resin.

The hardest and most time consuming part was making the mdf top and side, in hindsight, I wonder if I could have just used fiberglass and stretched it for the top and sides, that might have been easier in the long run. It was just very tedious and I'm glad I bought a big sheet from homedepot instead of the smaller one (they have like 2x4 sheets of 1/2", or close to that for $12). I messed up a few times, so extra was good.

The other thing, on the back for the terminal connector, there wasn't enough meat for the screws in the fiberglass, so I cut out a bit of mdf to use as a backplate for the screws to grab into.

All in all, the thing is sweet. I think with the volume, a shallow mount 10" might be better, I might risk it and cut out the mount bigger for a shallow mount 10".

Good luck!
