FG box in back pannels, Pix. 56k beware Options

[urbandork]

I did all of the fiberglassing myself so im a bit proud as it was my first time fiber glassing anyting. I started in morning and finished in the early evening. Here are some of the pix i took through out project. Some are of the left and some are of the right.

I was able to lay down two and in some places three layers down. I used both weaved cloth as well as a thicker weaved mat. I also did some touch up work the today but dont have pix of that.

Interesting...so I take it it's going to be permanently stuck in there?

How many more layers do you plan to use?

[doGGy]

As i suppose they will be stuck forever in there

and if you gonna use to subs, and if they will be placed one in fron of eatch other, the result will be not that good, cuz the amount of air that one sub gonna move will be slowed down by another subs air...

and as long as subs will be just right behind you, you wount hear huge bass, you will more feel it..

But anyway, good work man

p.s. i'v done car audio installs for 3 years Done lots of different setups including FG boxes and etc...

Yup there are things i would have dun differently as far as the planing goes. I think if i had a second chance it might have turn out better. But theres always got to be a first time lol. Im just glad i used enough hardner.

As far as layers im only guna stick with 2 to 3 i know everone says to put like from 4 to 7 depending on subs but the subs im putting in are going to be rather weak and thus i dont think i needed the extra layers. However if by some chance i do ill just sand and add more. (note: I did at a few more layers after the pix were taken)

While on the subject of the glass, yes you guys are correct, the FG boxes can not come out inless cut out. I was thinking about doing a box that i could just insert into the space but it lacked the area i was looking for as well as the fact that this was a bit more exiting then just making a mold outside of the car to put in it.

As for the way the subs are set up if the whole less bass more feel is true i guess im a little happy about that. Id rather feel it then hear it. I already have kicker RMB8's (midbass) in my doors and along with the stock 4" and tweeters the set up sound pretty nice on their own (with out the stock ones in the back). However while the RMB8's souned great they lacked a true felling of a bump/boom when the bass hits.


Thanks for the comments.

Interesting...if you press on any spots on the enclosure, does it flex? If so, you still need more layers, regardless of how weak your sub is. Subs put lots of pressure into a sealed enclosure.

Also, you did sound deaden the area behind the enclosure before starting this, right? Otherwise you'll probably have some pretty bad rattles. Maybe not though.

Let us know how it sounds.

Also, what sub and amp are you using?

Nothing flexes and i can acutally pound on it with my feet and hands with out worry.

As for sound deadening i did not. I had thought about it but decided not to. I shall see what happens lol. crosses fingers. If anything i can put some spray foam or soemthing.

Im running two kicker comp c10's 4ohm wired for a 2 ohm load and amped on a profile amp 350w rms 700w peak @ 2 ohm.

lol "small" huh? my friends stuck a 10" w3 in my trunk just for ****s and giggles and EVERYthing was rattlin and shakin, even this leave on the back on my car, it kept bouncin up. but yeah thatll hit hard b/c theres nothin really blockin it.

Doesn't look like there is enough volume for the subs. usually sealed

can't wait to finish the bandpass box and install this lovely equipment:



Amp - Legacy LA3090 - 2400watt RMS 1ohm

dual 12" cold cathode sound activated PC case lights (12v)

Capacitor - 5 Farad 20volt w/ blue neon lights

Driver - Audiobahn AW1508T - 15" 2000watt RMS 2 ohm dual voice (1ohm wiring)

Wiring - 2G kit with 80amp fuse, double run of 10 guage for the sub

Box- (not yet built) bandpass with plexiglass window.


*yeah i know, its hella overkill, but thats just how I like it.
