So I decided to build a sub box out of fiberglass because the trunk is too small for pre-made boxes. I'm only 60% done it but I thought I'd post some pics of my progess. After countless hours of labour and a trip to the ER for getting resin in my eye (lol.. the one time I don't wear safety glasses, soo stupid) here's where I'm at:
Here's the frame where everything started The frame wrapped in resin soaked speaker fabric Resin / Fleece layer totally dried .. in the trunk just to see how it looks Inside of the box fiberglassed (pic taken the day after the ER) Body filler aplied to the box .. it was hot out so I couldn't make it smooth .. now i have A LOT of sanding to do More pics to come when I'm done some more.... |

Looking good mate. Nice work so far.
If it were me I would put a few more bracing pieces inside, fibreglass is good but it does flex slightly and with the weight of the subs inside and with hard cornering or driving in any potholes then it may move it enough just to crack the filler and paint meaning a repair job? Nowt major though, just 1 or 2 from the sides to the sub rings and maybe a couple going between the rings also?? |
