fiberglass kick panels

I am curious, what websites have you viewed??

I say use 6 - 7 layers of fiberglass only and about 4 - 5 layers if you are using fiberglass & Dynomat combo. Using bondo as an exterior smoothing compund will add strength to the project. The speakers will not be pushing alot of SPL through them so you will not have to make them too thick. The enclosure that I made for 3 12' Boston Pro's was about 3/8" thick with added braces on the inside. Going 1" thick is OVER KILL for just component speakers.

Thanks for the advice.  I think the pictures I saw were just at an angle that made the fiberglass look thicker than it was.  I now have another question- I'm building the baffle out of MDF and I'm going to wrap the whole thing in fleece cloth, put the resin/hardener mixture on that and then add strips of fiberglass cloth.  Should I use the same 5-7 layers of cloth over the fleece like I did for the bottom piece?  Also, do you recommend cutting small 2" by 6" strips of fiberglass and putting it on like that or would you cut bigger pieces?  Thanks for all the help guys.

it depends on the contours of the pod itself...if they are friendly biggerpieces are easy to work with...however, over many curves and angles smaller pieces are easier to work with...6 or 7 layers is way more than enough as well...I believe I have 3 layers and will be using a combination of brown bread in the pod and Cascade Deflex Pads on the door itself...even with the bare 3 layers resonance is almost non existant and I am running alot of power to my Focal PolyKevlars so it would be exploited if it were there...

good luck...take some pics and let us take a peek when you are done...
