Ok here is something I have been working on. Im making two of these enclosures to put in the back of a Neon. This is my first attempt at fiberglass and well Id like some opinions / tips if ya got some.

The fleece was on sale, so make all the jokes ya wanna. As of now I have a coule more layers over the fleece and Ill be doing more and updating the pics as I go. FYI im carpeting the enclosure for a couple reasons. One i think aesthetically speaking it will look better and two I dont have the time nor the money to spend sanding sanding sanding, bondo-ing, bondo-ing sanding sanding oh, and sanding. The painting. gonna house a kicker c10 on each side.

It looks like you know what you're doing, good job. I had two kicker 10" subs though and I hated them. Maybe it was because they were low power/inexpensive subs and they were in a box that I didn't think was made very well after I took it apart and saw how they did it. They were the comp 10" subs but I think I'll be much happier with my one JL Audio 12W7 in the subzone box.

how many layers do I need if I'm using fleece and I'm putting 2 subs in?

fleece or fiberglass? if youre asking about layers of fleece, just one. if youre asking about fiberglass, depends. i like to keep putting it on until i have about a quarter of an inch. that will make it so it doesnt flex. the fleece will really soak it up too. dont get the pint of fiberglass, the gallon is a better deal. youll use it

Hey casedeez, Shoot me over some more pics of everything you're doing in the Dakota. I am customizing my 2000 Dakota as we speak. I'd really like to see what you did for the back seat if you have a club cab like me. If you did any other custom work in the truck I'd like to see that too. Bust out the digital camera ya lazy bum :))-
