slick Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 First and foremost, my picture quality is not good. My camera dates 1999. Now, onto my topic So yeah, for about 2-3 weeks now, I had my enclosure sitting in the basement, waiting for a nice day that I have nothing to do. I had already mounted my subwoofer ring, so all it was ready for was to be fabric'd and glassed. So, I had an extra fleece like towel laying around, that I knew would would perfect, so I wrapped her up, stapled her down, and went to town. This is how she sits for the next couple of days. Comments and suggestions, I'm all open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rshissler Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 didn't it take alot of resin to get the fleece soaked?? i tried it with fleece i got and it took so much resin t get it soaked good and then sometimes it didn't even soak in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I maybe used 5 ounces of resin/hardener mix for the fleece. IMO, it soaked up easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 It's been a while since I updated this. At the time I started it, exams were a week away. Then, I started this new job the week after exams, so I have been busy since. But, here's a list of stuff I have done since then, in order: 1: Glassed the inside of the box where the fleece was, and where it met the box. Some areas got up to 5 layers of matting, some only got 3, which should be more than sufficient(it's rock hard too). 2: Trimmed away the excess fleece at the top of the box, so that the fleece stopped right where the top of the box started(at the top edge). 3: Roughed up the fleece to start laying fiberglass jelly filler. 4: Layed down my first layer of filler, and sanded. 5: Layed down my second layer of filler, and sanded. At this point, i think there may only be one or two more layers of filler to go on, along with the appropriate sanding. I have decided to carpet the box, mainly because this is my first larger fiberglass project, and it isn't perfect. I should have stretched the fabric a bit tighter, because the resin mix is so heavy that it caused it to sag a little bit. It will not be noticable with speaker box carpet however. I was also unsure on how to wrap the fabric on the top of the box. I mean, I had a really good idea on how to do it, but I wish i could have found more examples, as it would have better helped me. I also need to smooth up the transition from the fleece to the wood some. That won't take too long, as it was a fairly smooth transition already. I just basically don't want any bumps being visible under the carpet. I'm going to try to update with some pictures tonight after I get out of work.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Looks really nice! Personally I would have just made a regular square box.. cause that would only take me a couple hours at most... I can only imagine slopping on fibreglass, sanding, fiberglass, sanding... that must have took forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 As of right now, I have probably about 15 hours of labor put into it. There is also another 10 hours of drying time put into it also. I have probably another 7 hours of labor to go, and another 5 hours of drying time to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianhasadd Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 That looks good man!!! Let me know how it comes out and maybe you can make one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Yep, so here are pictures as promised. BTW, I have the bottom of the box at my place in Toledo. It is already pre-drilled and cut, so all I have to do is drill in the screws and cover the box. Then, It is completely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Wow, no wonder no replies, the great image resizer on w-body.com owns me again. Let me see if I can resize them again for a better picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
