Box Wrapping?


Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, as much as everyone wants to see me do the 6 15s. It is probably not going to happen. I have to come up with 2k for the truck (my dad is matchin 2k for every 1k I come up with!), 6 k for next 2 semesters of school (LSU CAN BITE ME), and 3k to START on my new system. All this summer. Because once I start school again I'll be dropping to less than 20 hrs a week working.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO . . . . the point being I'll probably be using G-Monks glorious design (GOOD SHIT BTW!) and make my first attempt at a box build.

Good way to throw myself into it and all!

Now the question!

What should I wrap this bad boy in? I would like to do vinyl but it's 2 chambers build separately. I think it has to be 2 pieces to get into the truck, so vinyl may not be an option. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!

just vinyl the two separate boxes, put em and bolt them together inside the box. That seam will probably make it look a little cleaner looking...

Why fiberglass? Just make a 1/4 inch MDF trim panel...then you can cover that in vinyl or whatevs you want to do.

A couple links to some box builds:

Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI,

Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150

My own car builds (current setup --- under construction):

Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors

Subwoofer Wall

any idea how much a nice lil fiberglass faceplate would run me?

to make or for you to make and cost on materials? think Id agree with sean on this one. You could do a glass one, but its gonna cost alot more than a MDF trim panel either way.

if you are unable to do it yourself, fiberglass gets very expensive. it is not worth the money if you ask me, a nice clean trim panel seems basic but it looks good. If you are on a limited budget, keep it simple and go all out on quality equipment. Box building is simple if you have good tools and basic woodworking skills, if you were a little closer I would give you a hand but I'm outside Dallas (unless you are down for a road trip)

i'm going to build the box that's for sure. i want to at least be able to say i did that much. I have a local shop that can pretty much do whatever I want box cover wise. They did an excellent job on the vinyl for my current box. I'll go consult with them tomorrow and see what they think.
