attaching cloth to mdf

You need a training dvd so you can see how to get a flush or 'sunk' look,,,,

this is as basic as i can draw it for you... essentially all the edges are rabbited more or less.. Fiberglass Guru.

Cool thanks alot, that's just what I needed. I'm gonna start the fiberglassing in a couple of weeks or so and post some pics. I'm going on vaca for 10 days, and when i get back I have to take apart the box to rabbit those edges. One more Q though, you said don't attach the back until all fg work inside is done.... my box right now is ready to go I can install subs and listen, it's just that I put and overhanging lip 3" around each side so I can add 2-3 layers JUST FOR THE LOOK. right now, the sub box is functional, just looks bad. Do I need to change the box and remove the front face so I can work witht he fg on the inside of the box? Thx again for the drawing.I spank imports

Nice illustration, good detail.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

i dont think it is necessary to rebuild the box...but you could end up with the "new" front sealed chamber resonating..between the mdf face and the new fibergalss face i mean.. as for your situation you are going to have a hard time attaching to sub cut out...you are most likely going to have to build a trim ring that fits just outside the outter edge of the sub, rabbit it and then go from there...Fiberglass Guru.

If you'll see in my crappy diagram, the orange squares is the trim, don't know why i called it a speaker ring. The sub will go onto the face of the enclosure, and the trim will go around that to make it flush. Sry for the confusion with the quick sketch.
