DIY My Fibreglass Subwoofer Box [DC2(R)/4] 56K warning [M's Garage]

[GIPONU]

Give it a go with Kevlar and Carbon Fibre then.

Thanks for the DIY GIPONU, any more information on your resin/catalyst mix? Did you just guess the mix or weigh it?

no probs. i guessed it. cos it was too hard to measure it. due to the temperature. the first time i mixed it. i weighed it. and half of it went solic b4 i got to half way. so all the rest of the other time i just used a tiny bit. and left it overnight or in the sun to dry. ;-)

thats a great DIY i've been wanting to try something like this and get a hands on experience in using fibreglass!! thank you for the information

thanks.yeh i like hands on stuff. wish i had more time though.. Fckn hsc -.-'
make sure u wear long clothes when u sand. otherwise u'll be scratching urself whilst sleeping.. haha

Man this looks dodgy.
But really creative!

it's not dodgy or overly creative. this is a proven method of making sub boxes. there is another DIY for this on here somewhere

but yeah nice work on the DIY and thanks for taking the time to take pics etc, i'm looking at doing something similar and reclaiming some boot space in the future

no probs, very much appreciated for the stick up and comment.

doesnt the box have to be fairly thick so it cuts how low frequency? how about does it vibrate at all?

yeh it's supose to be thick for strength and durability and sound improvement. but i did mine on a low budget, it sounds pretty good inside and doesnt vibrate as it is screwed down to the chassy and its agenst the walls of the boot.

so if i wanna thick it out, i just add more layers of that shit you where putting on right? when you say you screwed it to the chassis, wouldnt u have problems accessing the tail lights?

sorry for the mad amount of questions but Im a big planner before doing mods on car

yeh if i wanted to make it thicker, whilst i was laying the fibreglass matt, i would just add more layers at each area over over lapping it.
yeh, i screwed it down to tthe chassy..
whch means, i cant get to the tail light, and the spare wheel
wat i need to do some time soon is trim abit off the spare wheel cover so i can get to the spare wheel.
and to access the lights, i need to unscrew the sub from the box.
then unscrew the box from the chassy. then i can get to the light..
yeh its a bitch. hahaha

yeh no worries about the question. i asked alot of questions b4 i made this box too. clearly there just isnt enough answers in the world. lols

Great work!

Try boating suppliers if you're after bulk fibreglass and related materials at a relatively cheap price.

It actually turned out very good! Half way i was like wtf is this crap! Then in the end it looked pretty good! Nice job!

[GIPONU]

haha yeh.
the only 2 important pictures is the first(before) and the last(after) pictures

[steve88]

did you cut the hole out when you fibreglassed the whole box with cloth over? if so howd you get it so smooth
