Ok I'm looking to learn how to fiberglass, I need so many things done to my car in the future (I hate the interior with a passion) and I feel fiberglass will be able to help me. I was wondering exactly what I'd need to do like, a basic single sub 10" or 12" enclosure, sealed or ported undetermined. This is a material list, and I'm pretty sure the g/f's dad has the stuff, but I wanna know exactly what I'll find most useful. Also if anyone can refer me to a good tutorial site or book for beginning that'd be great.

Well the subs are up to you, what you want to do. What do you mean about your material list? Are you asking for one for glassing or what?

Here is a good starter at the terms and how fiberglassing works and stuff like that plenty to keep you busy reading for a while http://www.fibreglast.com/contentpages-Learning-Center-286.html

Here is a basic idea of how to fiberglass some stuff but you should do a little more searching on here for more specific questions cause this is just a general idea I just found off of google. http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=62 http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=63

Thank you very much. That first carstereo one was significant help. When I have a little extra cash I'll ask the g/f's parents to get me some supplies(I love discounts) to start. I think I'll start in the trunk, mainly the spare tire area. I'll probably be applying paint finish though (I like the look so much more than vinyl and I don't wanna do all that work and cover it up with carpet unless I got a really good reason, like my annoying ass rear deck.)
