I am starting a new project for my rear deck. Im done with the frame, and I will be fiberglassing tomorrow, then upholstering tomorrow. Im just doing the fiberglass for them to be raised and to get the Geometric shape.

Its going in an 82 oldsmobile Cutlass supreme. I wanted 4 4x10's since the rear deck is not wide enough to house 6x9's, but I didn't want them just sitting flat. The end project will either be painted a silver or grey color to match the interior, or upholstered grey to match.

Fiberglass sanded, holes cut, and first layer of fiberglass/body filler mixture applied. More sanding and then upholstery later.

Second layer of body filler/fiberglass mixture done and sanded, all high spots are down, more sanding then paint. The wet spots in the second picture are fiberglass mat, to fill in holes that sanded through =/

Thanks, It still needs a little work if Im going to keep it painted. I just put it in the car to test fit and see how it would look. Im most likely going to cover it in some sort of fabric. I do a lot of taking the backseat in and out, so paint scratches would be horrible.

i have a quick question.. when you were stretching the fabric over the frame how did you make the transition from speaker to speaker?

The way the rings were set up i didnt have to staple the fabric to them. I just pulled the fleece tight.

If anything, to get the shape you want, you would staple the material down to the mounting rings.
