I think I'm going to try making something out of fiberglass. Ive wanted to for some time and finally I decided I want to make something small just to see how hard it really is lol. I know the process but I just dont know all of the materials I need. I already have an electric sander and some fiberglass body filler (i guess I can use that to make the whole thing look smooth, right?) What else do I need, and does anybody have a suggestion for a beginners fiberglass project?
 Thanks, Chucky --------------------  |

You might want to use a MDF panel for the front of the enclosure, with holes cut out for the subs. Then the rear of the enclosure could be fiberglass so that it would fit perfectly and would use all of the space available. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
