Sanitarium Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 ummm.. did you not stretch cloth over that before glassing? it looks like you just layed glassing cloth on it and used resin to stick it to the dash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwright27 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 6th order .. Not bad. I thought the read port looked funny, but wasn't sure. I'd shoot for 8 square inches of port per cube on the rear port and 18 - 22 on the front port. I was gonna suggest a sub forward port up setup actually instead of the wall idea you had ... 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

Jbabycsx Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 So I got a little more done today. Its too damn cold to work on it without having the truck and the heater going so I'm doing a little at a time. And Sani I did stretch cloth for the first coat of resin. After that I added another layer of thin fabric and glassed it again. The green you see on it in these pictures is Marglass fiberglass filler.

Jbabycsx Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Now I have to decide on how to cover it. I really dislike the idea of painting the dash. To me having something appear to be a factory install is more attractive. I dont like when people glass their dash pieces and they are smooth. The pieces stick out like a sore thumb. Im thinking about putting down a really thin pad and covering the dash with a fabric that matches the interior color. Any thoughts?? 2000 GMC Sonoma AQ20 FTMFW! 4 DC XL 15's Cadence ZRS-C9 Infiniti Kappa 3.5's and 6x8's Bravox 6.5 components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to go back and measure the port again, but I was talking to Sanitarium in the chatroom when I put it in place. The rear port is exactly half the width of the middle port. I guess the camera angle makes it look off. I hope anyway, I really dont want to have to redo it! 2000 GMC Sonoma AQ20 FTMFW! 4 DC XL 15's Cadence ZRS-C9 Infiniti Kappa 3.5's and 6x8's Bravox 6.5 components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanitarium Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Looking good bro. Look into textured paint, you can spray it and have it look stock (as stock as a monitor in the dash can look anyways). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbabycsx Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Looking good bro. Look into textured paint, you can spray it and have it look stock (as stock as a monitor in the dash can look anyways). Yeah I was thinking that as well. Just have to see whats out there. 2000 GMC Sonoma AQ20 FTMFW! 4 DC XL 15's Cadence ZRS-C9 Infiniti Kappa 3.5's and 6x8's Bravox 6.5 components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbabycsx Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 So I've been saving up lately and finally bought my amp and subs. The amp came in this week and the subs shipped yesterday. Heres a few pics of the amp. I went ahead and bought new carpet for the truck since the old one was completely shot. Got 100sqft of Fatmat to start out with. I got a double layer on the floor pan today and installed the new black carpet. As you can see the carpet is pretty bad, plus its not the color I want. For $130 bucks on Ebay I got new molded carpet that is heavy as hell and looks good. Overall the Fatmat did ok. It is not nearly as thick or as sticky as Damplifier thats for sure. It is easier to roll out and apply though. Stay tuned for pics of the subs when they get here on Saturday 2000 GMC Sonoma AQ20 FTMFW! 4 DC XL 15's Cadence ZRS-C9 Infiniti Kappa 3.5's and 6x8's Bravox 6.5 components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
