You need fiberglass resin with a hardener. You will need fiberglass mat. Buy in gross from CLICK.

I would suggest ordering about 8 of FG-10550 and 2 of these SM-435100. How many subs,amps, etc?

if i do the corner idea, ill probably leave the amp where it is now, attached to the back of my fold down rear seats or i may put it between the subs at a slight angle

you will also need latex gloves, cheap paint brushes, mixing cups, mold fabric of some sort, MDF for the rings and/or braces, glue/ or staple, masking tape and some sort of mold release( such as car wax)

i think thats all, but its late

thanks a lot.....

now for the actual fibergalssing, i layer the corners with foil and masking tape, brush on the mixture, let it harden and put many more layers on..right? then how do i attach the mdf rings and braces to that mold?

also i put the car wax on the foil before the fiberglass?

I would put down tape, then use duct tape that is kinda a metal tape, its used for heating in houses and stuff. then one more layer of masking tape.I use hotglue and just wooden dowels to mount the ring.
