ooooooooohh ... you just put the whammy on yourself, man! Shouldn't have told all of us that!!!!! Never put that kind of stuff in writing!! LOL!!

You need to imagine how you want this to look when it's done. Get the fleece & play around with it. Notice how it drapes over things. The framing underneath is there to support the fleece and make it drape the way you need it to. You will need a good Air Stapler - or an Electric one might do. Build the framing to accomodate any equipment you plan to mount in this FG panel (like an Amp Box?). Start by stapling the Fleece down into the Sub openings in the boxes. Stretch it out to the frame you've built. Then, as mentioned above, remove the weather seal. Pull the Fleece tight & put it between the lip that the weather seal goes on and the weather seal itself. Use the weather seal to keep the fleece taught.

Also - as mentioned above - the Subs need to be in their own box(es), under the FG Panel you're gonna build. Build 'em & TEST 'EM OUT before starting the FG work.

There's gotta be photo's out there someplace on how to do this, no? Anybody? Bueller ... Bueller?

ok, boosted ... I looked around real quick on this forum and I found this thread:

This may give you a pretty good idea of what the framing should do. Notice how he rabbitted & radiused all the edges - makes everything look SMOOTH and it will make completing the job far less time consuming!

Good Luck!

The best place to go on the internet (in my opinion) is www.alpine.com and look at the build pictures of there show cars, this will show you step by step photos of how to do a fiberglass enclosure. Note how they build the framing on the sound systems. Just remember your framing is one of the most important steps of the enire process to save you time, and money.

If you are woried about getting a flat tire you can buy another rim and tire, And build it in your sound system. Just have the subs and amps go around the wheel. Or you could take out the back seat and put your wheel there.

I hope that this helps you with your build. Please post pics of the build so we can see how it is going. And if you have any other questions don't be afraid to ask after all that's how you learn new things.
