i know this isn't the exact explanation you wanted but it will help

Thread link....

He makes a base mold of the panel first so it can be removed and trimmed up.

then the driver can be positioned and you can wrap the entire thing at once and bolt it in place.

My recomendation is to cut a little hole in the panel first for the driver to sit in so it doesn't stick up as much. and make the base mold go in the hole enough to keep it all sealed or cut the hole back out and leave it open if your sound dampening the door. Tape the panel off first though so it won't stick to it. and wear gloves

Use a stretchy cloth for the wrap. and chop strand mat for the layup... do it at least 3 good layers thick if not more and be careful about sanding the edges to thin.

You can also youtube it and watch vids to see the process also. Hope this helps... i've done a little bit of glassing but i'm no pro by any means but once you get into it it's not hard just takes patience. Practice making something first so you don't get discouraged if you mess up the pod the first time.
