dmz2711 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Alright, my brother wanted a little system, and i had a sub and amp left over from other installs that i did. I'm the retarted bass head in the family, and he just wanted a little bit of pound for his car. So this is the build for his car. My first fiberglassing project, so if it looks like sh*t oh well... The template to cut out around the curves of his car... I then took the template and cut it out on to some cardboard to make sure it fit right Here you can see the curves of the trunk from cardboard to 3/4" mdf here is the mdf test fit into place the seats are at an angle so i went ahead and angled the end of the mdf so it could fit nice and snuggly against the seats i added some duraglass which makes everthing pretty solid here i cut out the ring for the woofer, it is for a 12" audiobahn sub(i know it sucks but its an old sub, and like i said my brother doesn't really care) layed down some aluminum foil, and fiberglassed the sides for a nice clean fit for some reason the resin came out lookin greenish on the camera, anyway i layed down 3 layers of fiberglass mat.. thats all for now, i hope you guys like it i will post more pics tommorw ;D Nobody makes me bleed my own blood, NOBODY!!!

dmz2711 Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 thanks fellas, i got more pics comin tommorw. ;Dquestion, what's the best way to secure the box?? i don't want it flying around in an accident or somethin. should i make a "dance floor" and attach the enclosure to that, or directly to the metal of the car?? also, if i do bolt it to the car, should i use bolts, or screws ??? i need some expert advice...

dmz2711 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 here's some more pics... one side the amp is going to be mounted, the other side a cap. i know it doesn't look the greatest but it is sturdy, and it will be all covered over later making the enclosure part air tight fiberglass and resin now layed over covered everything in some grille cloth resin on the grille cloth i must have measured wrong cause the end of the amp didn't sit on the wood, so i had to add these little mounting points for the amp here i started laying the fiberglass mat layed some duraglass over everything sanded down the duraglass layed some rage gold to make everything nice and smooth sanded down the rage gold sprayed some grey primer so i can see the imperfections and fill em in test fitting in the car, before i lay some vinyl over it, lookin pretty good to me i did some more sanding and then layed the vinyl down, it was pain in the ass to get it nice and smooth around the curves, but here are some final pictures. the car was already wired so all i had to do was install it and thats it.. and some night shots, i don't think its that bad for a first time fiberglass project...

dmz2711 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Very Nice bro, you should be proud of it.how does it sound?thanks man, i appreciate that. ;Dits far from perfect, but like i said, it was my first time, and i learned a whole lot. As for the way it sounds, it sounds reallly good, it is louder than i thought it would be. It's a small box, sealed, perfect for my brother, but for me i like alot more bass, i like my system alot better. ;D Nobody makes me bleed my own blood, NOBODY!!!
