FG Sub Box 1st

I'm making this box for my Bronco.  I made it following the specification for a good SPL (3.2 cuft).  There will be other projects like the amp rack and a center console. 

Let me know your opinions.

After taking out the seats and carpet. A good mess left.

The form of the box with the back hole of the trunk shape

As you can see no router were used,  I used a jigsaw (real pain ine the ass)

The fleece part.

Several layers of FG (will be 6).

The upper port

After sanding and verifing the sub.

The skull for the lower port

I made the mold of the back and checked if fit.

I will update the work as soon I advance.  Now comes the bondo and the sanding.

I'll be placing pix as soon I advance on the project.

I'll be working this weekend with the bondo.

Does anyone knows a site were I can look for images of custom installation, specially amp racks?

I'm thinking what design use in mine, but am block.

thanks y'all

Here is a place with a lot of custom installs:

Lookin good so far. cant wait to see it finished.

Thanks a lot customcarchris,

I'll take a look :)

Here are the promised pictures. I just need to sand the box a little more to then paint it color red (as interiors)

I began with the amp rack.          Enjoy and post comments and suggestions!! Thanks.

I find some hole so decided to continue sand 'till I be able to see myself in the box (mirror) :)

Here you can watch that I missed by 1 1/2" the desired angle (I fixed adding little pieces, ha, ha)

Captanham,

I made it from a smoke machine (molded with FG) then added to the box

Wow, looks great. Especially like the skull!!! Can't wait to see the finished piece. Great pics too!

Keep it up

Been busy last couple of days but here is my progress.  I decided to change the amp rack to a more simmetrical one.  Place your comments.  Thanks!

I'll be working with the sanding and finishing details (corners, frames, etc) this weekend.  Looking forward to complete asap for painting with interior match.

On schedule:   Center Console, Back Speakers.

Note:

Someone knows how to make a mold for a LCD screen in a structure of FG (ex. center console)?

Awesome work ! It seems that it is not your first project. How many time did you spent on it until now?

Well ChrisZ3, sincerely I've been doing this since march (working only weekends).  Everything I am doing I learned from this forum and other sites.  This is my first job with FG, the thing is that as soon I started watching everyone's work, I turned out a freak of this thing.

Thanks for your post. Continue visiting for the progress!

Just a few more "sand time" to complete the box and the amp rack.  I finished the corners of the box and tested in the Bronco. Everything fits well.

I just need to smooth the upper side of the box a little bit more to complete it.

looks awsome!!

I like your design a lot. The skull is a great idea too.

What color are you going to paint it?

Here are some pics of my progress.  Since I started college studies, time will be limited but I'll do my best to finish this work this year (s**t)  Everything is taking too much time (when just one person is working on this project, me).  I'll be patient and ask for you guys to get some also.  

Enjoy and Post your comments, please.  They have been very helpful with the progress

This is it!  I did the bondo part but no pics of it right now.  I'll be posting them next week. 

bronco

I know how you feel about working on a project for a long time.  I've beeen working on my truck for almost a year now. I don't even konw how much money I've put into it.  All I know is I want to get it done so I can move on to my other car and hopefully make some money doing installs for other people.  The good thing about working on other people sh*t is you still can be creative on someone eles's time.  If you don't mind me asking how much do you have in your projet?   Keep up the good work and keep posting those great pics.

OnE_DIEU,

thanks for you consolation. , Actually I am riding my Bronco just with the driver seat! It's scary man, but there is something positive here and is that no thief is interested in a car like that, but we have to be careful when we install with a lot of passion our work, that a motherf***r come and steal it.  That's gonna be sad.

Note:  You're asking me about how much I have spent or how my audio system will be?

My system will be composed with 6 speakers (front {Rockford Fosgate}, middle {Rockford Fosgate}, back {Sony}), a custom fiberglass enclosure for the middle and back speakers), a center console with 2 Lcd's (front and back), as you can see in my pics, the sub box with the amplifiers, one of them for the back speakers.  I think that everything here cost around $1,500.  I was planning also on making custom door panels but I think I'll never have the time to even think about that.

Thanks for your post again and keep visiting!
