carbon fiber sub box

no complaints here, look great from my house! rtfm

I wouldn't mind doing a write up. I'm by no means a pro like some of the guys on here though. So I'm sure there's some pointers and tips they could add. Next time I do some carbon fiber work I'll take plenty of build pics and do a write up.

the smoothness you got in the final product, is that strictly resin/epoxy or was there some sanding and clearcoating as well?

There is a TON of sanding involved with this type project. I started with 3 coats of clear poly resin. Next I wet sanded my way up from 240, 300, 400, 600, and 800 grit sand paper. In a nutshell, you use the lower grit paper to smooth out the surface and remove any waves or imperfections. Then from 400+ you are removing the scratches left from the lower grits. Once the surface is even and scratch free I polished it with a buffer and some 3m rubbing compound. Then 3 coats of clear coat, wet sanding with 1500 grit in between.

     Oh trust me, I know all about it. The hardest part of cabon work (Non-Vacuum bag) is the finishing. This was an over head display for a Dodge Ram I re-did to house some Type-R tweeters, looks decent enough but this was before the clear and lots of wet sanding. For your first one I would say you got it though...Nice job.

yeah looks great would really be interested in see the write up have some projects of mine own that would look awesome done in carboni dream of angels but live with demons
