mix mdf sawdust with wood glue to make your own mdf putty.

or if you have a little gap / crack then apply glue directly into the gap and lightly sand the surface around it and on top of it, the saw dust will work its way into the gap and stick to the glue creating a natural filler. when the glue dries the filled area should be hard as a rock.

Better yet, Resin and mdf dust!

using rope when doing large fiberglass projects.

Explain please?

Also, not skimping on electrical. Build up your electrical first, then concern yourself with subs and amps

More for like door panels or walls. put long strands perpendicular, helps with durability. put on the inside

lay a ring of rope caulk around the perimeter of where you mount your sub in your enclosure to get rid of air leakes. it also looks better than other methods i have seen.

if you need to run a thin wire through firewall or dash then straighten a metal hanger, then tape the wire to the hanger and run it through that way.

Big ass zip tie to run RCA/speaker wire.

I use a car antenna that I cut the ball and connecting ends off and sharpened one end. Just gotta be careful, but it is great for pulling wires up through a dash and out through a grommet for you tach, hood pin, etc. For larger gauge I have a wire grommet tool..
