Me and my brother built this, one of the hardest things i have ever done!





We started with the base, then desided hell make it larger and added a peice that makes it fit up to the back seats.



Basic Starting



Added little notches to the sub rings due to i have Kicker Comp subs and wanted to add the grills



Everything added, Amp Rack, TV, and Power Cap



Here it is in my trunk



Cotton On it

More pics to come.

Up Dated




Fiberglass added, ran out of resin just need to put more on over the lil areas we didnt doo.

 

awsome cant wait to see the finished product

 

yea same here...itss looking good so far

 

sweet. cant wait to see the finished product.

 

nice layout,



What happens when ya get a flat? Sorry just wondering

 

Looks sweet man! Isn't your battery located in the trunk? Or is it just on the SS/SC's? That would be a bitch to get to.

 

Looks good!

 

looks really good. Deffinatley want to see the finished project.

 

yes the battery is loctaed in the trunk, but with my old sub box i had in there i would had to take the back seats right out of my car to get my subs out, with this fiberglass encloser, i can take it in and out of my truck thru the opening, but at the same time with the cobalts you dont need to put jumpers on the battery, they have a power terminal in the front, and ground the jumpers out on anything, due to the spare tire, same i dea take out the box and im all set!
but also i have roadside assistance, they bring me a spare tire

 

looking pretty good only thing i would have suggested is to use a stretchy material like the stuff they make swimsuits with and streching it more before applying the resin

 

what did you use to cut the circles? I'm going to be making my own enclosure soon... mine will be wooden but I can seem to figure out what to use.. aside from the long tedious process

 

+ rep for all your hardwork. Thanks for sharin it with us.

 

When making a encloser with fiberglass you must use 100% cotton, due to my brothers mis hap on that it was left a little lose, but we fixed it with fiber glass, with a second layer, now we are woking on bondo.
i will get a pick posted when we finished the bondo

 

im not sure who told you that but i know a guy who has done insane fiberglass builds and never uses cotton... always the strechy suimsuit material because its easier to strech

 

Meh, not goign to argue, i have done some fiberglass work in the pass, this was the hardest of them all, next is im gonna try to custom build a dash for my car with carbon fiber.

 

wowo i like a lot. i want it done now!

 

Ive always seen cotton fleece used for fiberglass, never swimsuit material. It all does the same **** though. Cotton will absorb more resin and probably be stronger in the end.

yup the cotton will absorb more resin which could be stronger but if your building for strength your going to want to use more fiberglass less of the shaping material.

and sry if i sounded like an ass pyke but i was just trying to help... the material you use actually doesnt matter much but imo it looks better stretched out more because it flows and is a little easier to sand and such so the more strechy the material the better. (but i forgot to admit that probably 75+% of all fiberglass audio stuff is done with the cotton) hope to see more pics and progress

 

...i cant see any pictures

 

Weird...

 

UPDATE Bondo Time.

Getting Ready to put the Bondo on


Just starting the Bondo

 

holy how man... actually I kind of like the rock type texture.. also did you answer how you cut the circular rims? i don't know if i missed it

 

oh **** sorry, i used a Skill Saw
some people will drill the hole and then use a jig saw

 

ok so basically draw out a 10" as a template and just go from there.. I didn't know if there was an easier way to go about it thx man

 

use a drimel with a hole cutting device on it.
