umm i put the cloth on. then drenched it with resin. as the resin is like super glue and sticks the cloth to the wood and everything. then after that was dried, i cut the hole out of the cloth where the speaker ring is with a mini saw.Quote:

then i body filled the whole thing and sanded it.
thats why it is smooth :D
ah! so you cut it half way in the process of fibreglassing, that'd explain it. cause i was thinking. if this guy cut just fibreglass that neat he must be pro@life. i didnt realise with fibreglassing you have to wait for resin to dry! thx again
its funny.. So easy to do.. yet people still pay the big bucks to have this done... i think i kno where u learnt how to do this lol... everyone read that DIY..
good DIY man..
dont cut the fibreglass while its wet. and yeh u have to wait till resin dries and fibreglass dries.lols. to make life easier, if u wana cut the holes out when everything is dried, drill a hole where the sub hole is and use a jigsaw to cut out the stuff which is in the way of the hole..Quote:

good work :)
This tread is awesome!!!!! you must of put in loads of work to get this thing together, most impressive. how do i give one of those pq point thingys?
nevermind, I found it.
thanks for the comments. wasnt that much work, i suppose. i used alot of electronic tools and did some research on the net. it just costs alot of money compared to my weekly income. LOLS
when u have this done with big bucks, what you got is calculated box volume, lots more layers of fiberglass and danamate to stop rattle.Quote:

btw its cheaper to buy your fibreglass supplies from a fibreglassing supplier.
resin, matting, rollers in bulk
