Learning to Fiberglass (hopefully)
Posted: January 13th, 2004, 9:48 pm
In the next couple months I'm going to go into depth on teaching myself how to fiberglass. I'm doing the research now and it's looking pretty good. I know I'll need practice but hopefully it will work out good. Heres some questions I have...
The back left of the trunk and back right we have the small little inlets...I want to build a fiberglass enclosure that raps around these a bit. And face a Kicker CVR 12" facing about a 45 degree angle upward.
Now I'm not quite exactly sure about fiberglass.
Fiberglass is like the side of a car correct?
Is it ok to basicly make the entire enclosure out of fiberglass and use screws and such to hold it to the trunk and such. Or do I need to use plywood? Or you know whatever. I just need some helpful hints. Also...
I'm going to remove part of the trunk floor and replace it hopefully with 3/8 plexiglass so that I can place something (not sure what under there with some neons) Is that harder then what I'm thinking, cause I'm just thinking getting the plexiglass and making the screws heh.
I was thinking placing the amp down there, but I decided against it becuase of myself reading an article about bridges. And well I've decided I'm going to make a custom bridge from aluminum. Going from the rear speakers across. That way I can hide wires while accenting the amp aswell.
Any helpful links would be greatly appreciated.
