Default I'm getting the itch again

It's not been quite a year since I got the system stuffed into my Vette (and there's even some things I never finished). But for some reason I've been itching to do some new "packaging". I'm not looking to add any bling or new widgets (well maybe XM), just satisfied sticking with basic audio functions. So, I'm not sure what I want/can do. Possibly a new sub enclosure or something with my door panels. Maybe if I can decide on a new PEQ I can make a new HU mount. I guess I'm getting bored. I'm not really into performance mods so maybe I'm just wanting to take the boredom frustration out on my stereo. Any ideas?

Get a center channel speaker? Clarion SRK? Half din sized?

Center channel speaker isn't my thing.
I think I'll try repackaging the amplifier and subs, maybe do something with fiberglass.

I'm getting the itch again

go see a doctor, they have a cure for that

play around with that fiberglass idea. It's amazing what you can do with that stuff.

Your install is a great inspiration of mine. Did you do all your own glass work? I have a tendency to let projects drag on for a long time. Since I've never worked with fiberglass, I'm a little concerned that anything I start will be dragged out even worse, what with waiting for molds to dry and resins to set. Whatdayathink?

Sorry, I wish I could take credit for the fiberglass work but I did very little work with that part. I can tell you this, if you never work with fiberglass, do some research on the topic. Also, you might want to practice some before touching the vette prodject.

PS the stuff doesn't take too long to dry

PSS Thanks for the compliment
