    3/4" plywood or is that mdf? Can't quite tell.
    Remembering how bad mdf sucked to cut for sub boxes back in high school.

    it is 3/4 G2S Birch plywood. interior and baffles will be made of 1/2" birch plywood. He has a stand alone amp to plug his bass guitar into it. Will have a 15" subwoofer mounted in it as well.

    I would never go inside my house if my garage looked like this.

    Structurally stronger, able to handle being moved way better. This isn't a bass cabinet that will live in one spot for the rest of it's life, but be moved in and out of trucks to garage's, bars, etc...

    Made an at-home hot yoga tent for the wife. It's up in the loft, out of the way. I have 2x 1,500w space heaters in there on a timer to pre-heat it before she starts. And a humidifier. It goes from 15c to 40c, and about 65% humidity. She's happy.
    It's mildly insulated with 2 layers of corrugated plastic panels.

    How much was a roll? 3m 1080? Vivvid? Trying to think of cost effective ways to get my car painted/wrapped.. I feel like wrap wouldn’t stick to primer though so I might be stuck with getting it painted..

    Vvivids+ new line 2019, scored 80ft off kijiji brand new for $400!! So lots extra for practicing. Then spent $120 on a wrapping kit, extra knives, some tack spray and a new clay bar kit.

    I'm pretty sure it does stick to primer... I noticed alot of the youtube guys did bodywork before wrapping, But who knows with YouTube lol.

    I really like the idea of wrapping a car myself, and I actually don't mind working with the stuff. I really do not, however, like the idea of taking the car apart to do the wrap the right way. I find working with door handles, bumpers, body clips etc, super tedious/frustrating.

    And if you prep your primer as if you were going to paint it (multi stage wet sand, etc), I would be blown away if vinyl didn't stick. I would be more worried about removal, I think it might stick too well.

    Couldnt agree more, I really debated not taking off a bunch of parts and just attempting it assembled. I learned quickly how the job would've turned out if I didn't remove everything lol.

    my cars old, no random crap to remove haha, door handles and mirrors would be it, but they're off already.

    Finished building the Bass cabinet. Will be home to a 15" woofer. Next steps are to sand it, edge it, and then stain it.

    This looks like a graham project - does it show off some massive kicker amps too?
