Done with the box.
All fiberglass, except for the spacer to flush out a speaker cover, not shown. ALSO with my box, the carpet stays under it, is not cut off!!!!
Very solid, and light. Space in water measurement is .68 cu.ft. Looking for any takers? It is designed for the JL 10W1, one of the best subs you can get!
I got some feed back on the box and the construction.
So, I am giving a better detailed description of the process to get to the final result. :wink:
First I removed all the factory brackets. Moved a wire harness out of the way, no problem. Lined the interior area all the way back to follow the complete contour of the car.
Second. I lined the area with a very thin flexible plastic to allow for a spacing for the mold material. Lined and taped up the entire area with sheet plastic to allow for a seperating medium.
Then filled the cavity with expanding foam to get every contour of the car. Which was a great idea, in theory, but in reality... The foam did not cure in the back and center of the mold. I removed my half cured foam. Let it loose its shape, then kept filling in the voids.
Followed up with 7 lbs. of Rock Hard Water Putty to get all the shape. Shapped and fit the putty to get a great fit to the cavity. Used the final foam/putty mold to creat a 2 piece fiberglass mold. Used that to creat a plaster mold that was solid, and kinda heavy. Covered the inside of the car with plactic again. Then added to the plaster mold to fit the car better. After all that was done, I covered the FINAL MOLD in a seperating medium, and laid the fiberglass.
The face of the unit I did not want MDF. To thick in the area, loose too much floor space. I went with a special reinforced fiberglass. The company recommended 2 layers. I went with 4!! It is very strong. I laid that up on a piece of flat stock covered in plastic (giving it the "cardboard look"). Cut it to match the shape of the box. Epoxied it to the enclosure. After WAY WAY WAY to many hours of labor. It is done!! Any one else want to try it, be my guest! :biggrin: :biggrin:
The cost for the encloser is $350.00+ shipping.
