Hey Guys

Just curious, I know quite a few ppl in the past and probably still now, have wanted to try and make their own fibreglass sub boxes, but havnt known how.

Does anybody know how to make these from scratch that could share with us? I know u can buy a fibreglass paste or something from somewhere but how do you usually design the mould etc

Can someone share their wisdom cause lets face it, the old mdf sub boxes can only look so good lol

Google bud!

NP - I just want to see the mess you make..

so make sure you take loads of pics, and post the up for us all!

dunno if ill even attempt but if so ill def take some pics lol

hey dude,

ive got a bit of experience with glassing as I made a custom install for my EL XR6. I basically created a mould of the boot and created 2 separate boxes from the mould. If your interested I can post up some pics and detailed instructions. Im just on the work comp. atm so to do it now would be a little sus.

haha

that would be alright buddy, but what sorta price are you looking at for the stuff needed to do it?

Mate, with fibreglassing it's more time consuming (and MESSY!) then costly. Go to a fibreglass supplier (not a hardware store) and you can get everything you need (matting, resin) to do more custom stuff then you'll know what to do with for well under $100.

The most costly aspect is the final finish, but if you're okay with some glue and carpet/sheet cloth then it's cheap. :o

I think the biggest thing with fibreglassing is dont rush it!!!

that's when things start getting messy!

use plenty of masking tape on your boot carpet, make sure you set everything up beforehand, uncluding cutting up all the matting, plan it all out, and be patient!!!!

oh yeah, you need good ventilation too.
