first fiberglass projects

here are some pics the first is a sub enclosure i made last  week dont mind the wires i had to take out my amps to do the amp rack pics here too . keep in mind Im a family man so i have to keep my trunk clear as possible . my main concern was to keep it minimal but nice looking ill keep posting pics as the amp rack gets done im also working on some door pods to fit in the factory location with a better stereo imaging angle . after that is the rear view mirror pods

so far the amp rack was test fitted with the amps and resined . hopfully the weather allows me to finish week

yeah i have JL componant system in the front might be buying a second set to add 2  6.5  midds and tweets to the doors . also plan on buying another set of  JL 6x9's for the rear fill i have infinity Kappas now . i have a Kenwood Excelon X969 head unit and a Precesion Power PAR-650 paragraphic EQ . i used to have 2 JLw6 's but i sold one needed more room i my car , and the one JL sounds great , im more of a SQ guy anyway

thanks for the comments , im happy with the test project , i plan on getting a new car in january so i figured id practice on the old hooptie first lollollololol . im new to the fiberglass stuff but ive been installing systems for a hobby for over 15 years now

the sub enclosure is pretty thick i think i got about 1/2 inch thickness on  the flat  sections and also the mold of the side trunk wall has many curves ...too many ...what a bitch that was to make lol .. the wall is almost  like a half circle and many contours from the wheel well , tail light and other metal  brackets . had a hell of a time trying to get the mold out . well thats what this was all about a learning process. other than that i had no problems . i own various power tools , and i DONT have a air compressor so dont think you need to buy one to get a project done . the only thing i bought was the router and Jasper 200 circle Jig for the speaker rings .  

nice work, man -how did you mount the enclosure to the side of the vehicle?

hehe funny you should ask that .  it  was a bitch for me to figure that out .  since the back of the enclosure was so curved and had to many angles i couldnt drive a screw to the wall in the trunk . i found a 1\2 inch hole in the trunkwall that was there already . i used this bolt and this piece thats like a blade i dont know the exact name for it but basicly its made for drywall mounting , the piece folds in half and goes in the whole then it opens up on the other side and then i tightened the bolt inside the enlosure and locked it to the trunk wall . dman i dont know if i explained it right maybe ill take a pic and show you
