fiberglassing

[Lonewolf32]

Hey Guys

I have been installing systems for myself, buddies and girlfriends for probably 15 years now, but it has always been speakers in factory locations, I design and fabricate a sub box build it out of 3/4" MDF, carpet it and use the leftover wood to fabricate a desent looking install of Amps and ect.

I am ready to move to the next level I would like to start making fiberglass kickpanels, and ather install designs with fiberglass.

Is there some Videos, or books with lots of pictures lol, to give me a good understanding?

What materials are needed besides the obvious, and what are they used for?

Thanks for any help

This site above is what got me interested in making a fiberglass box. I took this and ran with it. I made some notes on my site about my expereince here (http://www.hypersprite.com/auto/tech-z-006/default.asp)

Hope that helps,

Great looking glass job HSprite.
And the cool thing is the Polk Grilles match the Z's wheels almost perfectly.

Man, that looks great. Excellent paint job!

I dunno. I think it looks better the way it is.

I agree with mac...

Cody lacks style :p

[HyperSprite]

I think I like it the way it is, plus, I want some seat time to enjoy it. I am sick of working on the box, I want to listen to it for a while.
