thank you !!! *blush it was kind of a disaster in the background ... i had resin all over my hands i didnt cut the fiber glass small enough so i had bubbles EVERYWHERE there were fiber glass strands COVERED on the brush , the handle , the cup , it was just ... terrible ... it was super cold out so the resin like clumped up INSTANTLY ( i think it was the cold ) hopefully my next layers go ALOT smoother
-
thanks i guess i will be adding a couple more layers of fiberglass to make everything rock solid and fill in all the holes. i will be just sanding super smooth and painting no vinyl.
-
ok so i put speaker in to see how it sounded and i have alot of little holes to fill at the edges no big deal but also the pod sounds very resonant i think that's the right word ... like the pod needs to be more dense ... how can i do that ? would the bondo help that and would filling pod with poli fill remedy that along with little more bass from poli fill ?
-
thanks it was my first time didnt really know what i was doing lol finished my doors will have 2x 6.5 orion components ... im sporting all orion speakers and Rockford amps going with the underdog speakers
does bondo create a smell like fiberglass resin does ??? i had no idea the resin had such a strong sell and my house smelled for a couple days ... >.< when i did the last layer outside i think thats what make id not smooth because from the cold the resin got clumpy rather quick ...
-
sick build !!! hope to soon be able to be a grass roots bass head as good as yourself as i learn and progress !!! always have respected your work and just facepalm at all the haters on youtube that dont know the work,commitment,dedication, and love that you put into your cars
-
im thinking i will do the bondo ... the pod right now is pretty strong but i think bondo will add more strength and then i might just sand smooth and paint pos. ill try the vinyl first
-
this was my first time ever fiberglassing ... i cleaned it up alot but dont hate :-)
-
should i cover the pod in bondo and sand before covering in vinyl or can i just cover the fiberglass ??? also would the bondo give more strength to the pod ?
-
ok thank you guys !! much help going to go try it now once im done sanding little bit more !!!!
-
would a hair dryer work ?? dont have a heat gun lol
-
i made some speaker pods for my doors and they are attached to a panel for the bottom of the door .... what is the easiest way to cover them in vinyl ??? doesnt like to stretch very easily and contour to the curves
-
why such HUGE wire ???
-
ok my car does not have power locks dont need remote start would like a nice alarm for a fair price with dome light sensor, shock sensor, and proximity sensor, dont need locking stuff or engine disable ... anything you guys have in mind ?
-
0 gauge wire = BAD 0 AWG gauge = GOOD never buy wire unless it specifically states AWG wire !!!!
-
best video ever !!!!
-
I ran some p1s in a sealed and a ported and I liked the ported ... deeper bass louder imo
-
thank you SOOO much wenn ... i just took the speakers out so that i can redo the spacers and i will put back in and play that song and see what happens from there if i notice a difference then i will be waiting to get sound deadener .... fatmat seems liek the cheapest but good so i will be using that stuff
-
check polarity of all the speakers.
check the HPF setting, should be around 70-80hz.
non-hardening modeling clay works very well to seal the baffle you made. just put it around the outside of the ring/baffle.
what speakers do you have? i see orions in your sig but what model? and 2 in each door in the stock location? i thought it might be another car your talking about.
as of right now its 1 6.5 per door will be making another pod where map pocket was for another one that panel is removable so makes it simple and im using the orion cobalt line.
polarity is good they are diff size crimps for diff polarity,
the HPF is set to 80hz on HU and crossover on amp is set to ALL
-
spacer was made form 3/4 mdf and it seemed like a poor fit so i will be remaking that and getting a better sealer for speaker so i can isolate all air into door panel .... hopefully the other half will get my hints and get me a 25sqft of fat-mat for xmas :-) i will be able to deaden the doors and that should make a difference

fiberglass enclousure for inside the stock location ?
Can Mechman make a 150 amp alternator?
in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories

i am only running 1000 watts total system and the alternator is a v-band belt and the belt would not be able to move a very high output alternator, only a 1.6L engine and the belt is very small, so only need 150 AMPS, stock alt is 70 amps >.<
