my 1st try at fiberglass + pics

[danielschweer]

finally finished my first try at fiberglassing (thats a lot of f's). what do you think? only downsides i've found so far is that it takes up most all of the trunk, which isn't really a big deal for me, i almost never have passengers, so the back seat is my trunk anyway. 2nd is no spare tire, so for that, me working at AAA comes in handy. dont think i needed two caps, but i had them from my last install, so i thought, what the hell?

Wow, that looks great.

Looks great. Wish I had gone through with my fiberglass project.

 

[danielschweer]

thanks guys for the compliments, you should get on it, i didnt think it was that hard, just really time consuming.

 

[Simply Silver]

Nice.

That is a really good job. Look better than some the local professionals here in York.

Did you use glass or the cloth fabric?

Looks good, turned out nice. I did a fiberglass project last winter. Lots of work, and mess.

not positive what you mean by that.... most of it was done in mat, the really tight curves i used cloth because it curves better in small tight spots, then once those parts were rigid, i moved back to f/g mat for strength

 

[Skoozul]

That kinda what I was asking. The cloth I was talking about it is like a t-shirt material I've see a couple of people use, it's made for stuff like this.

 

[danielschweer]

oh, i think i know what you mean, yes i used material streched out to give it the curves, and then f/g'd on top of that, no i didnt use cloth specifically for fiberglassing, didnt really know they made that. i'll post a pic when i'm at home, i just used a really strechy cloth high in polyester, from my research cottons not really good to work with

excellent craftsmanship! Looks really nice. Although, you'd probably get better bass aiming the sub towards the rear, but I don't think that's a problem when you're running a w7! =)

I've seen people use speaker grill cloth but there some other stuff out there called Fleece

well thanks, i thought about having it rear facing, i liked this layout better aesthetically, it does just fine w6 though
