It shouldn't need MDF rings on the back but thanks for offering Sneaza  I will bolt the Subs to the Ally plate and bolt the ally plate you your amazing enclosure! 
I'm glad it's you doing the fiberglassing and not me - my last one was 'ok' but heaps of bubbles and roughness underneath! Yours is 1000 times better!  |

and from the side....see just how much space is there.... .
Now, the next all important question.....Where do you want the Front Trimmed to...???
meaning, what shape...How close to the Recess Curves etc....
This will be the LAST thing to go on after I have glassed the next bit and strengthened the inside, then figured out the seat belt arrangement. I should cut the Holes for the Subs so that I can access the inner top at rear for extra Glassing strength, but it's your call...and something you could do...??? Let me know what you think..... |

I think your initial idea would be the best - Just a smooth-ish bend across the top and only allow for the seat belt mounts on the sides
It is nice to see it all together and visualise the end piece
I am thinking of buying some new leather from the states (via ebay) and trimming it like the rest of the interior - just means it doesn't have to be all super smooth because it needs foam over the top of the f/g initially

It probably will follow the recess so more of the sides of the subs can be seen now you mention it
I thought it looked a bit like a UFO too! |

Actually that would look better but is it a lot harder to do that in f/g than a gradual curve across the top?
I vote for that treatment as long as it's not really hard to do! If it is maybe the single curve instead |

| Pass. side Pockets with holes now in place.....and yes the excess that you see, though won't have any bearing on the operation of the seat belts, will be trimmed smooth....even though you won't see this when the TOP GOES ON.... |

| Drivers side, you can see the reinforcing at the bottom....all this was then sanded smooth, so that if you have to poke around inside for any reason, you won't get splinters..... |

So at this point am feeling quite good....removed my Sub Enclosure to get a 'Test Fit' BEFORE I attach the Top and also to see just how much room for Seats, wether it would clear window, if Release would operate...etc, etc......BASTRAD!!!!!......Needs to go back 3" and couldn't for the life of me think why.....then it dropped.
Front is TOO WIDE....when I attached the Front Panel, I had it sitting in my Spare Parcel Shelf Panels on work bench and Pushed Panel in to get nice Tight fit prior to Glassing in place. Now comes the MODIFICATIONS...... >  > 
But before that, this is the view.... |

| Different angle....Plenty of room for Release to operate, Enclosure actually sits further back than mine at present, so Leg room I don't think will be an issue... |

With the roof up.....plenty of room..... |

And now you can see how much I have to remove, ( I have to bring this edge inwards ).....!#$!#!##$.....The Grey one is another Shell awaiting a front, but yours will look as smooth as this when I'm done.....
CG, Let me know A.S.A.P. about that Top edge, so I don't have to get Covered Twice....  |

That's SO good Sneaza, Thankyou!
Sorry it has become a bit of a headache with making it fit - may be if it not too hard you could make the top edge about 10-15mm instead of 50mm? Honestly though, I can see how hard this is while making everything fit so I will leave the ball in your court so to speak! (in regards to any necessary fitting/view mods). It looks so professional |
