Anthony Pena appreciate it. The process is long and cumbersome especially when you have to break it up into sessions. For me some of those sessions I only had like 30 min before I had to get cleaned up because I had somewhere else to be lol. It is slowly coming along and I hope to finish it soon.

nice videos, glad to see one with most everybody everyday tools build. nothing against the one with all the RIGHT tools just not everyone has all that stuff! be safe and be blessed!

Appreciate it brother! I def wanted to show that it’s possible with out the recommended tools since not everyone has the extra cash sitting around for everything all at once!

Your video helped me out so much- I’m building a under the seat seal enclosure for my ranger- used the preexisting cubby for my mold! Currently on layer #2 and it’s already looking so sturdy . Hoping to test fit it here in a few hours

@@Foxcraze I normally use Gorilla brand spay adhesive instead of contact cement. I will be doing two boxes, one on either side of the trunk of my 2017 Mini Cooper. I'll be sure to video and upload. Maybe I do something different that may give you some ideas.

Would you still use mdf in the bottom next time or just fiberglass the whole box?

To make the process easier/ faster, next time I will likely glass the bottom as well and addd some extra layers. Then, when doing the face make sure the bottom end had a nice flat area for my flooring to butt up against to help hold it in place.

What was the enclosures general volume / measurements? making one and picking a driver!

I don’t remember exactly, but it ended up being something around 1.2 cubic feet before subtracting the driver size. The measurements are also not easily found due to the custom shape but I can give you a rough length height and width tomorrow after work.

How find volume of box

@Foxcraze

Honestly, it was a guestimate. I did two imaginary boxes around the box area and subtracted the absent space. The remainder was within the parameters of the subs sealed requirement so I went with it.

problem is that you trimmed off the excess material from the top before it was able to set n cure. next time leave it on and dont let the resin get onto the glue as it will eat it and come unstuck. other than that good job def 8 out of 10 so far. will have to watch the next episode. keep em coming/ and staples are best as they dont usually pull up when the glue is wettened

Yeah it was my 1st time, so I learned from my mistakes. I said in the video that I didn’t saturate the fleece enough to allow a good bond on the back side. It all lifted once it dried so I cut it off and put it back together again using the fiberglass chop mat.
