After messing around with a few smaller projects to figure out what I'm doing, I'm finally starting my enclosures. I'm building 3 seperate enclosures, each of which will have an Infinity Perfect 12. Anyway, enough blah, blah, blah... On with some pics....

Taped up for the corner floor molds:

More tape... The things sticking up are pieces of airline covering bolts and bolt holes so they can be used once I'm done to secure some of it.

First layer of resin and mat. This was followed by two more layers before I popped the mold out.

One of the molds popped and ready for a couple more layers. The little brown circles are pieces of 1/4" MDF for the bolts to go through. These have since been buried in another layer except for the centers and will be built up a little more once I join the 'glass pieces and MDF pieces.

Mounting ring all fabbed up:

Thanks to the Mod/Admin who put all of those into one post. This forum is formatted differently than the others I am used to using...

Oh yeah, they are strong. The trim ring is glued and screwed to the mounting ring. It's going in my 1999 GMC Sonoma Ext Cab. I figure I've been rolling with bare MDF boxes long enough. Now it's time to stop spending all my time working on other people's crap and finally get to mine...

Great job so far.  I like the idea of MDF circles to give them something to mount to.   How did you make those MDF rings?? is each one two pieces??

They were made with my router and a circle jig. I finally broke down and bought a set of Jasper circle jigs so I didn't have to fab up a crappy one every time (one of the best $50 I have ever spent). All three trim/mounting rings are made of two pieces. The trim ring has a 1/8" roundover on the inner lip and a 1/2" roundover on the outer. Once I glued and screwed both pieces together, I marked the holes for the tee nuts, drilled them and then put the sub back in and used it to tighten the screws down to set the tee nuts into the MDF.
