Tryin So Hard To Learn. Box And Tuning Help

I can fiberglass it's just Im not sure what he means and ive already asked him a billion and 1 questions haha

well you might have to ask him a billion and 2. i'm not exactly sure what he's getting at.

i can understand why he would want a mold of your floor, but why he specifically needs a fiberglass mold. maybe i'm just ignorant, but if it's for a single 10 i don't see why it needs to go as far as being fiberglassed.

I'm sure he wants a mold of the floor and not the top of where box would be. So what you do is get a mold of floor in fiberglass, build a wooden frame forth sides and then stretch fleece for the TOP of the box where the sub would be mounted. You make rings from birch or MDF(medium density fiberboard) to stretch the fleece over. You then resin the fleece to harden it and proceed to fiberglass and resin 5-7 layers of fiberglass and then sand and use body filler(Bondo). I wouldnt suggest doing a serious fiberglass job like this for a first time box build. There are MANY skills that are required to make a box like this.

The bottom will be fiberglassed so it fits the floor perfect! And because under my seat is small so im utilizing air space.

It's fine to utilize your airspace definitely. You'll have a lot of hours in labor to get the box built. And then you'll only be able to fit a small sub and leave yourself no room to go with a bigger sub in the future without a redesign. Have you done fiberglass work before?

Yes, I love glassing

[CleanSierra]

Good deal that you love it. You wanna hop on a plane and finish glassing my box. I pay in beer

Okay New plan. the guy that was going to build it for me wrecked his fourwheeler at the dunes and can't do very much. He is drawing it up for me and im going to build it. It will be going under the back seat of my '95 chevy K1500 truck so im fiberglassing the bottom to get a good fit and use all the room i can. He said something in a text about building a frame and then stretching fleece to get the mold of my floor?? can someone please explain how you do this? If i understand it right you build the box sides and then stretch loose fleece across the bottom. lay it in and the fleece will form to the shapes under the back seat of the truck. Then u lay in the resin and glass?? if you could please explain that and then maybe link me to a thread where someone did that? I cant find anything on it.

is your truck extended cab or regular cab? i dont understand why you would go through all the trouble to fiberglass when you could just build a box that fits, and then secure it to your truck and with a port and if you make it big enough(depending on you tunning desires) youll make that lil mtx hit!

honestly you should not have to go through all that trouble to build a box that fits. send me a pm with your dimensions and i will design you a box. hey its my first post on SMD! wewt

My truck is an extend cab, under the back seat has lots of shapes.. I kinda want this box to be perfect. It will be tuned to 33 hz. You think the box will make a huge difference??
