TRTC360 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm fiberglassing the t-top area in my 93 transam for a pair of XFL 12's on my DC 3.5k, anyways if I were to build the box out of wood I would use 3/4 birch and it would be double baffled, how thick or how many layers of 4oz matt should I put down to make it just as strong as 3/4 birch? i've been thinking of making the mold with 1 or 2 layers then pulling it out and taking it to a local boat yard where they have those special fiberglass guns, should make it a hell of a lot easier then laying down 5+ layers to make it strong.

CleanSierra Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 You mean the area the T-tops are stored when they are off the car so the mullet can fly in the wind right? Not putting 12s overhead right? Disregard the mullet comment, it's not directed at you, much love bro. I just get a very particular visual in my head of a T-top car and the types of guys that USED to buy them back in the day. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

CleanSierra Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 A chop gun is wicked, a couple users on here have them. The TahoeFixSSD kid has one(along with WICKED skills to fab anything). To answer your question, to make its as strong as birch or MDF, I'd guess 7-8 layers Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

TRTC360 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 thanks for the input sierra, I was guessing more like 4-6 layers but I may be wrong, can someone else chime in on what they think?

mbdblue Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 4 oz. mat is thick man....personally I would think 4-6 layers would be fine with that thickness....Normally Im a 1.5 oz. guy myself, and laying down about 10 layers of that is strong as hell.

STEALTH808 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 put as many layers as you think. do 4 layers, let it dry. then see how it feels. no ones gonna give you the perfect answer and everyone will have a different answer.

CleanSierra Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I never even paid attention to the 4 oz mat either, that IS thick stuff. 4-6 should be pretty good. I use 1.5 oz also for my projects. Be prepared to go through resin to soak that fat shit. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

TRTC360 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 shit, now that I think about it, it may be 1.5oz, I think 4oz is what I read at the store and told my dad we should use that instead haha '93 Firebird Formula V8 H/U- Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X395 Mids/Highs Amp- Hifonics ZXI80.4 Wiring-KNU RCA's, Speaker Wire, And Two Runs Of Trystar 1/0 G34 Red Top and a 180amp Ford Alternator www.youtube.com/TRTC360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
