Fiberglassing my system -- posted image.

 

This is my first big fiberglass project I have been wanting to do for a long time.  I am almost done, just a few more layers, and then the sander is coming out.

That is foam.  I used it so the trunk wold not rattle.  I am just going to fiberglass over it.  It is two big pieces, just in case I need to removed it.  I have a whole air ride setpu back there, and will be making something extra to show it off.  The amps are mounted to the back seat.  I am almost done with the setup.  Just need a little more fiberglass and it will be done with that.  Then, sanding.

IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just playing homey...I still can't find that foam. Like I told you though, just ask people on here if you got any questions about anything, together somebody has to have an answer. Looking good so far though man. I should be starting on my box here shortly.

Yeah, I am kinda new at fiberglassing.  I have done some work on my car with it, but on small areas.  If anyone could give me tips, that would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Like I already told ya homey, I don't know if the glass is going to separate from the foam...you might have to scrap it or remove as much foam from the back as you can if you are only going to use it as a mold. If you do have to start over be sure to spray some sort of "grease" over your mold before you start FG again. from here I would suggest covering all the green with about three to four more layers of glass (don't forget to tape off whatever you don't want covered in resin) sand it as smooth as you can, then start with the body filler. You might just want to start over and add your air compressor and amps to it now. Just a thought though.

I've never used foam, but I don't think that's not goin' to work ver well. Like said before, I'd scrap the foam and use a asphalt-based dampener, like DynaMat instead.  But again I don't know how well the foam would work.
Slowly but surely working towards something. Not sure what though.

WHAT!?!?!?! Dynamat used as a mold for a speaker system? First I've EVER heard of that. If he were to line his trunk or the back of the FG enlcosure than yeah by all means...I just don't think that you can get a perfect mold by using dynamat.
