    You just need to add the expanded metal to cover your speakers. How's the SWR? Neat project though!

    Mark II: Half the size, half the weight. 2 foot firestik knock-off antenna, and the speaker hole pattern transferred to the case, and lined up, eliminating the space requirement and weight of extra speakers and a mag mount. Power comes from a pair of 6v 7ah SLA batteries, one in each end of the can. Still have to add the charge port. SWR as of yet unknown.

    thats a big 10-4 there chewy. one of these would be pretty cool. i would make it so there is a little swr meter built into it. and maybe some kinda detachable ground plane or a ground plane you can fold up or something of the sort if its needed.
