Alright well lets just start off by saying im no professional and have had no previous experience w/ building boxes, but so far I must say it's not coming out too bad.... lol



I know a mess of caulk....wood glue...some super glue, but all in all i think it looks okay... and man o man is it sturdy. Now im just gonna wrap in in polyster stretch and fiber glass it...ill provide pics of finished product if u guys want....
Constructive Criticism is welcomed...(just remember first attempt at a box)

HELPS ALOT

 

Alright i just got done stretching polyster fabric on it getting it ready for Fiberglass. I got a question tho...Do i need to cover the back w/ fabric as well as the bottom? Or can I just carpet those later? Isnt it the front that only needs the fabric cover? Thx
~Donny

 

Just cover the part with nothing andd a bit of extra for the lip so it dont leak

 

yea dont do the back but after you glue the fabric to the box, when you start to resin it dont let the resin get on the glue, the glue will lossen and your fabric will start to come off, also i have found the tighter i get the fabric around my enclouser the better end result. therefore dont but your fabric on a day or so before your resin it, the fabric will start to sag and your making a lot more work for yourself.

 

Alright....Ready to finally buy fiberglass! Got the material stretched over the box (will provide pix sometime). Now time to order Resin,Hardener....I asked my bro where is the best place to get some and he said http://www.shopmaninc.com/polyesters.html. Now im just wondering which Resin do i get?? My guess is standard, but I hate guessing on stuff that can cost me cash lol. Also where is the best place for some hardener...?

 

nice man. I like it!! always feels good to make your own stuff. Im having Mandos make me a custom enclosure for my 15" Kicker L7 but this might give me the bump i need to do it some fG instead

 

yah ive never had any...experience with wood even lol, but I did have my bro whose done this kinda stuff before... but yah it wasnt really all too hard, but then again its not done yet.... You should def go for it...feels damn good to make ur own stuff (unless it turns out like crap) lol.

 

Nobody knows???

 

polester based resin...

 

I know polyster, but there is like 8 forms of it....

My sub boxes Holds 10 inch subs, one day i will change the material and put some neons in the trunk

 

Woah looks nice...u build it?

 

wow i like that...won't take up too much room.

 

i really don't see how that would work. but i dont know what i would be doing anyway... looks good? i guess.. lol... keep us updated.
