Making a fiberglass/MDF enclosure to sit behind my left rear tire! What do you think any help/constructive citicism is welcome!


Here is layer 1:

 

What is th purpose of this enclosure?

 

subwoofer

 

eventually there will be a 10" kicker sub, so I can have a lil bump in the trunk, and lose very little trunk space!

 

good idea...I'm gonna do one too...just gotta get some freaking time!

 

gonna mass produce these suckers n make some moooooooney?

 

Well so far so good! If I can fine tune my skills I want to make it entirely (sp) of fiberglass! This one will have a MDF bottom and front! Its really not that hard. You should try it!

 

its like what i have check my website. it will sould good and lose no trunk space

 

krmaxima: that looks really good. how long did that take you to do?

 

Nice is that a solid piece of wood or fiberglass? it looks good either way!

 

Did you buy the materials online by any chance? If so can you please post the website. I'm going to be doing a similar project this winter and need to get the stuff ready for it. Thanks!

well its all fiberglass

 

araffio:
nope I went to my local Home Depot bought the resin/catalyst and fiber sheets.
krmaxima:
Was it hard to make the side which holds the "ring" that the sub screws into?

 

well see i boughtthe box for someone already built but its was really bad in a way. so i re did the whole thing also my box was made for a 15 but the space was too small so when i was redoing hte box, i re did the lip and made it into a 12 inch sub. and now its hits hard and clean. i guess it took a long time. i didnt really have good tools either so that hurt me but yea just take you time and think about everything or write it down before making cuts i was stupid and had to make the lip like 3 times haha. just take your time and you can do it.

 

...fiberglass is the best!

 

anyone have writeup?

 

Added the bottom: Kinda sloppy!

 

looks good

 

Looks good. I am thinking of re-doing my next enclosure in all fiberglass to save weight. Are you going to be doing any kick pods for your midbass in fiberglass? This is something I am going to definitely do.

 

This was my last fiberglass project. Fiberglass isn't bad to work with, just so time consuming.

 

holy cow jeff .. awesome job with the fiberglass

 

wow nice work

 

I would really like to redo the rear door pods! I want to aim them up, so to speak to get a bit more sound out of the back of the car!
