i bought some videos that really help me out. Like i did the same thing you did with the research but really didn't catch on till i saw the video. like you don't have to fiberglass to make a 3 sub box. you can use a thicker cloth than the use rage gold to give it more strength

Are you talking about a box with only fleece and no fiberglass? That would be very unadvisable. ------------- Nik

No, he is saying use the fleece and resin, then no fiberglass mat or cloth... Xavier2k20 did you get the Select Products videos? I know Robert just uses his polycloth and resin, then does some of his spray bondo, but I would atleast have a couple layers on there, just to feel safe.

Are there any videos that you would recommend? I have found several but they all seem very expensive.

The videos are not cheap. If they were cheap they probably wouldnt show much useful information. ------------- Nitrous is like a hot girl with an STD. You know you want to hit it, but you are scared of the consequences.

Well I just got a couple videos and hopefully they will help me out. How much did you pay for your vids. I found a couple for about 40 a peice. Is that about the right price?
