Started in May and slowly worked on off and on. My very first attempt at fiberglassing.

first project many pics! -- posted image.

All wrapped up with stretchy polyester fabric from Jo-Anns

After some glassing.. The vertexs were a b*tch

This is where it got hard.. im noob at bondo

Inside shot of the port..used 4 inch PVC pipe and tuned it to 32 hz for SQ

Heres the big sub I am putting in.. Diamond Audio D9 10''

It's a beast.

I know I skipped some steps but I didn't take pics on those. Here it is after the paintjob. I used spraycan dupli-coat because I'm cheap. The decal was custom made for me on ebay. Only 8$ shipped here...pretty good deal.

So pretty. Question and comments welcome. I should of clear coated it but the guy at pep-boys wouldn't sell it to me because I'm 17 so maybe I'll do it later. This is currently in my single cab f150.

Hey man,

Good job for your first sub box. Not to put you down or any thing, or maybe its just the pictures, But it looks like you still have some sanding to do. But other then that great job. :D

nice choice on woofer next time make rings like this so you do not have to glass over your speakere mount for a beter seel

keep up the good work and spend a little more time on the sanding to get a more glass reflection in the paint

bring back the rotary phone so i dont have to press 1 to proceed in english
