Jayhovah's fiberglass sub box build log

Jayhovah

I have been brainstorming on what to do for a sub box for over a year... I originally had my heart set on a ported 8" setup.... At first I thought I might try and build an ultra light foam core box but it was going to take up way too much space... then I thought maybe I could stack fab an MDF box into the cavity under the floor in front of the shock towers, but sinking an 8" sub into that area was just going to be too tight for me(have seen others fit 8" in that area though)....

I finally decided to stop fiddling about and just make a simple sealed box for the Alpine Type R 8" that has been sitting on the shelf for many months. I absolutely hate working with fiberglass but you just can't beat it when it comes to weight and fitting things into odd/tight spaces. This will be my 5th fiberglass car audio project, so hopefully there will be some benefit from the experience.

Got started today - on to the pics!



All masked off, used modeling clay to fill voids or round off sharp bends.



Got the glass layed up...



Here it is popped out. God I hate fiberglass.

Tomorrow I'll trim it up, make the baffle, and hopefully glass up the rest of it.
