then i wrapped it with fabric cause it would have taken entirely too long to get it smooth enough to paint and i had left over fabric

I've considered doing my lil dash speakers like that $100+ for them suckers I don't think I actually hear them

Nice job, be interested in seeing the "installed" pics.

Are you sure one layer of fabric is going to be strong enough to hold them?

I have heard that resin soaked fleece (which is what that looks to be) is not strong enough to support any weight. Therefore, your supposed to put a few layers of cloth or mat on it.....

I know that fleece+resin is not very strong because i made some interior pieces for my old daily with it and managed to crack one of them by barely flexing it trying to intall it

i added a few more layers of mat to the thin areas at the top and bottom sry for not mentioning that
