bobwires Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 10 year old Forrester, sealed box with amp rack Rockford P3 12", 1.4 cubes sealed. Hertz HDP5 pushing Hertz Hi Energy speakers. Very nice. The pallette Going to try to keep the jack storage Layup was decent, but lumpy as all hell. There were a bunch of chunks of hard resin in my old pail..... The spout hardened up, and I had to break it all apart. I didn't think to strain it out..... Tuani Fabrication Wasilla, AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwires Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Setting up the lines How do you cut a circle through 1-1/2" of MDF with only a 1" bit? Took some fancy footwork to get the amp in that close to the sub. Plus the help of this little guy...... and a bunch of duraglass to clean up the gaps.... And now, the giant router bit.

KillaCam Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Looking great so far. Glad to see you back here. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

bobwires Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Glad you like it going old school. Never actually used this method before. I doubt I ever will again, but it is sure better than stretching fleece to a glass edge and awkwardly trying to CA glue it..... big mess......

bobwires Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Here's the trim first layers had no dye, so I can see the sharpie lines. Bolted in place. Tuani Fabrication Wasilla, AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwires Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Tweeter pods made from stock ABS trim, sintra rings, CA, duraglass, and rage extreme. Speaker baffles. How some 'high end' shops can avoid 'custom' work is beyond me. You CANNOT install a speaker correctly in a lot of vehicles out there without some setup to make rings like these. these are also Sintra, 2 layers of 1/2" stacked. Notice the single-bearing-riding-on-2-surfaces-trick... These rings were made in 20 minutes with a jig saw, router, an air saw, and an old ring hanging on the shelf that fit this speaker. not 3m tape....

bobwires Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I should have done this in 3/4"..... would have saved a bunch of blocking... fine tuning the fit the foam was all temporary, just for shape. All gone now. I have a little hole in the enclosure to fill. My trim is THICK. I hate wimpy glass parts, and nothing could be worse than a customer pulling out the trim, dropping it, and having a chunk break off. 1/4" of glass Tuani Fabrication Wasilla, AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobwires Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I had this bright idea to do a double bevel. We'll see if it ends up looking any good... Poly Primer Tuani Fabrication Wasilla, AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
