Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 4192 Registered: Sep-04 | "procedure and things of that nature i would greatly apprieicate it .. " Mike, when you visit fiberglassforums.com they have 2 sections. A subwoofer section and audio panels. So what ever your looking at doing, they both have useful and great theads on both sides. Why did I post up icixsound.com? Because besides fiberglassforums.com, if you sign up to icixsound.com's email newsletter, they often do fiberglass builds that are great to look at. Also check out smd's website out. But the threads in my opinion are quite outdated but some good ones. I haven't been there in awhile so I don't know whats going on. I mainly can see some of the fiberglassing threads that smd has over on fiberglassforums though. Also, as for urethanesupply.com, I posted this because they have supplies that you'll most likely use if working on plastic panels. |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 4195 Registered: Sep-04 | Really easy way. You have a bottom mdf board and a back mdf board. Round the 90degree angles so the overall outcome is very smooth. Angle your speaker rings in any matter you desire. Then wrap it in whatever material you want to use. Anything from speaker grille cloth to fleece/felt. Heres a good thread of what I'm talking about. If I find anymore I'll send them your way. http://www.fiberglassforums.com/showthread.php?t=2929 |

Gold Member Username: BernymacCambodia Post Number: 4205 Registered: Sep-04 | i never finished any of my fiberglassing projects lol. But I helped others like Chad and lowlife. I also guided nick when he was doing his and his doorpods came out very nice. I'm waiting to get my civic running before I attempt anymore more new projects. |
