Hi,
I saw these pics on a car website and was interested what the brown layer inside the mold is. Any ideas?

looks to me like a 2 piece fiberglass box with the insides sanded and primered with that cheap brown primer by brite touch. Thats just my opinion from what I can see.

Hmm so you think that is just primer eh? For some reason it looks like a different material to me. If you look along the edge you can see a "line" where it goes from fiberglass to mystery material. Who knows maybe it is just primer.

True, the only thing that gets me thinking its primer is that there are areas along the edge that are chipped, so it could be a nasty shade of orange-yellow paint on fiberglass. I can see where it looks kinda like a plastic type covering but the chips along the edges, particularly on the lower right side of the box with the open whole, would suggest its a paint of some sort.

Definately looks like some kind of primer or paint. If you look at where the speaker mounts it fades as well as the chips. On second thought it could possibly be foam of some sort.

it does look coated in primer or something, but I really don't think that's fiberglass.  Foam's the best bet,  the only way something fiberglass could come out so perfect would be through a mold and that piece look like a one off.

that looks like a fiberglass box for an 8 inch sub. the part on the left covers the sub when not in use. its a homemade stealth box and the orange you see could be a gel coat or a primer.
always looking for new info and willing to give it

my .02 is that is it a plug that they made and primed to replicate the face of the enclosure. if you look at the part on the left, it goes in too deep to be a cover. also the back side of the piece on the left isnt covered at all. also the parts that are chipped or rubbing thru are the parts where it would be tight and where the 2 pieces could be pryed at to get the 2 pieces apart after the resin dried on the duplicate being made.
