Heres what i plan on doing, to 15" l5s and 2 10" l5s with 3 jbl amps, a 4400(for 15s) a 2200 (for 10s)and a 4ch for the highs. This is all going in the back of my 94 chevy blazer and im now in the stage of laying down sound deadener. and i was tryen to get some new sweet looking ideas, but thats why i came here, so if you have a sweet idea or have a pic of some sweet fiberglass project, i would like to see it, i cant wait to get this startedm but i also want it to look like trully 1 of a kind and something out of this world, i also have a ton a neons i plan on "hiding" so it all glows at night. so let me know if you have any ideas. I will post pics of the progress that i make.

I wouldn't recommend using 2 different size subwoofers.  You tend to get a lot more standing waves and cancelation, and it is harder to tune when using two different size woofers.

Good Luck!

i dont plan on using them both at the same time, th 15s for when im listening to rap and that kind of music, and the 10s for rock and other kinds of music that need a quicker response.

All that work and nothing to show for it, it took about 3 hours to do not including the tailgate. I plan on starting the base of the fiberglass maby saturday or monday, i got a few more ideas of what im going to do but not to shure.

Once you get started keep us posted with plenty of pics. Im anxious to see what you do b/c i havent seen too many SUV DIY fabrication projects.

I also have a Suv and am looking for inspiration for my project.

Scence it has been awile scence i have done some fiberglassing i decided to make some kick pannels for some component speakers, and i also decided to get some hood scoops and fiberglass them on and give them a little custom look. I will have pics of the hood scoop and the kick pannels ( or the work in progress that they are) by next sunday, got to work all week, bummer...... but today i got some done, put all new window motors in, scence my old ones were shot, now my windows go up and down without stoping...... what a heartache that used to be. But i will post another update next sunday, maby i will start doing it on a weekly basis to show the progress.... maby well im out for now cya all later.

Kick pannel is balancing on a block of wood as i cant screw it down till i cut the holes out, and i cant do that till i know what components im going to stick in there. Still nothing done yet with the main fiberglass box in the back, im still waiting on some wood. hope to have it this weekend. Till then, im out.

That looks a little better. but like i said i still need to do a bit more work, not to worried about the rings to much as the majority of it will be covered up and cut out. but i should have more progress done by sunday. I will post some more pics of what i got done. till then im out.

Did you paint b4 you cut your holes?




Posted By: Clif
Date Posted: August 05, 2005 at 12:07 PM
yea u dud paint them first, i got to redoo the one kick pannel so it looks a little better. but i will just primer it then cut the holes then do the final paint on it. i am starting the other kick pannel today i think im going to do this one a bit diffrent, like mold it right to my kickpannel plastic piece, that way it will look more stock. i will post more pics of the progress i get today, i plan on almost compleating the other kick pannel today. i will post pics of step by step and not just final product. be back in a few hours or so.....

Looks nice Clif.        Post more pics with the speaker on it.  I noticed a mouse trap under the kick panel?  mice problems on your car?  :)

yea the mouse trap was to ballence it beacuse i cant screw it down yet.... so i grabbed what i could find. but as for the other kick pannel. I did this one a bit diffrent, molding it right to the factory plastic kick pannel. here are the steps and how far i have got.

Basic Supplies that i used, hot glue cloth, and some strong copper wire.
