custom subwoofer enclosure in development
Very nice so far. I've been wanting to tinker arond with fiberglass and kittyhair and such. I take it you know a thing or two about the processes? Can you point me in the right direction to get a start on these as far as materials and things alike?

Note: I will have to postpone the progress of this project til next week some time. My dad is being deployed to Iraq soon, so I am gong to go visit him in Atlanta this weekend.
ok guys, i worked long and hard on the boxes this past weekend, here are some pics showing my progress...
i wrapped the skeleton in fleece and brushed it with resin:


here is a picture (boxes in the trunk) before sanding:

and after sanding:

this weekend i am going to NOPI, here in knoxville, so i will start the amp racks and covering the boxes next weekend. my goal is to have the complete system (components, screens and all) installed by the dragon run in Aug.

Looks good for your 2nd try! Next time maybe, I would recommend stretching the material a little tighter. Also when you do 2 sub enclosures like that, its nice to try to get them identical because they're sitting on the opposite sides. If not, they just look like you wrapped some enclosures randomly. Not a lot of people will just dive into fiberglass and do it like you did. Its a messy job as I'm sure you've experienced! now time for some serious grinding!! be sure to grind out any air pockets because they will be a problem later down the line.
pretty soon you WILL be a master and all your friends will be beating down your door...

*Clearing throat…*
I would like to take this time to unofficially unveil the custom trunk fabrication that I have working on lately. The design is finally put together and secured in the vehicle. Take a look at how it came out. Hopefully I will be able to find the time to build the amp rack, which will be secured in the spare tire wheel well, and hook up the amps, cap, components, and subs in the up coming weekends. Till next, enjoy the pics.
