I wish this site existed 15 years ago when I made my first pods. I've learned more in the last few hours than I've learned on my own in the last 20 years. Secret!

I appreciate that. I struggled for YEARS to figure out how to do this stuff. There was no quality instructions on the net, everyone wanted money to teach you. Info within a hobby is meant to be shared. The best way you can thank me is continue to watch my videos and always slam that like button. Sharing them helps immensely too. I appreciate your guys support. Please like this comment so people can see.

Mark, Thanks so much for posting all your videos! I have always wanted to do a custom audio system in my car and with the help of pretty much all your videos, I am able to start knocking them out one at a time! As a hint to others, wear a mask and make sure you are in a WELL VENTILATED area while working with the resin... I learned the hard way by spending 12 hours on the couch with a massive headache from not wearing a mask! Also, the "blue painters tape, OH YEAH!!" is very important because it keeps the resin from leaking through to your door panel. Just make sure there is a decent overlap on your tape seams... so this doesn't happen! Thanks again Mark! PS, your template videos are so useful! These template videos are so useful and really opened up my creativity!

Thank you for watching and posting, it means a lot to me!

You are welcome, thanks for watching the video and liking and adding to favorites, it really helps me out!

Secret. I've watched all of your videos and they have definitely helped me make my installs look more professional. Thanks!

Glad they are helping you out! Thanks for watching!

If you use a lighter pigment, or no pigment. You can draw a sharpie line on the tape and the resin will transfer it to your hardened mold when you pull it out. Its a huge time saver.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it, maybe I will change things up a little bit.

Secret. I did my new door panels in a similar way. I also added a layer of dynaglass to the molds before I cut and trimmed them. It made them very rigid. Great videos man.

Good Im glad Thanks for watching!

Just wanted to say man.....your attention to detail is awesome. Thanks for what you do bro, for real.

That is correct! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the idea and watching!

That's right! Thanks for watching!

Keep it up man, great vid and it's no secret! Liked and Favorited, when I get some time, I'll enjoy going back through your videos to help me with a custom build.

No problem, thanks for slamming the like button and commenting!

Glad you like it, just remember to slam the like button on all the videos, add them to your favorites, and share, thats how you pay tuition! Thanks!

Oooohhh sweet techniques Mark!! thanks! It's true that you learn some new SECRET every day, now I have a good resin brand that takes more time to cure, that's a big help... and also dyeing it, that's awesome, can't wait for the next ones...

On the volume its all about estimation, but shoot for larger than you need, after the pod is made you can put packing peanuts in the pod and then pour them into a box to get an idea on how large it is, then add pieces of wood inside the pod to reduce the volume. Since the panel is curved you may have to cut the panel. Hope this helps ~M

Right! Thanks for watching!

Secret... Been watching these videos all the time trying to get my knowledge up! Thanks for always posting!

I had heard about this before but forgot about it. Good call, Ill try this in an upcoming video and give you a shout out! Thanks.

I wanted to show using the pigment and wasnt sure how it would work with the sun flash, stay tuned though ;)

You are welcome, Thanks for watching!

They are coming, thanks for always posting!

Not everyone learns the same way or at the same speed. Him not finishing leaves suspense for the next episode.

Great video, my opinion on the background is that the subwoofer in red and the trunk install in green look perfect but the router does a shacking fuzzy thing that messes with the eyes a little but still very cool background. (secret)

At the end of this video there is a button to see the playlist for this series, go there and you will see episode 2

Well presented!

2nd question (posted in a box design video for the 1st question). Originally I had cut my door panel and mounted my speaker in the panel (terribad idea) and I now intend to do an angled door pod. My question is, should I fiberglass over the door panel to create a base to work from or look to replace the panel altogether for structural sake? If you look at my channel I have a video up from my first build where you can see the door panels as they are now

heck yeah, this video was helpful. revealing the secrets man,

SECRET, Can’t wait to get started on my car

Secret. Great vid. Have you ever tried the aluminum foil method instead of all the tape?

excellent videos and secrets mate thanks

Secret ;D following you on instagram too.. you have great fabrication tips and im planning on using some of them in my audi a4 avant with a 6x12" alpine type R and 10 kits 6.5" typeR's keep up the good work! with best regards from Sweden!

I love the background' it was the first thing I noticed!

thanks for sharing your "secrets" Like button SMASHED!

thanks for revealing some of the car audio secrets

A secret from me if you want more strengths to your build you have to make sure that the fiberglass mat is saturated with resin! but at the same time you want as little resin to fiberglass ratio, I like to use the aluminum roller a lot when I build. I'm not an expert in making pods but I have build a fair square of boats.

Great and informative video. A healthy amount of baby powder on your exposed arms helps keep fiberglass from making you itch like crazy!!

Great work

Love new background!!

and most important remove any traces of silicone or grease to ensure that painter tape is sticking to the door panel :)

You will see!

secret If you have any videos for building fiberglass Door panels on a classic early 60's all steel pick up, I am all eyes for another video. This gives me ideas but there are a few specific snags - like you have to uses the actual door as the mold.

I was thinking the same for my 62 SS

thanx for the 'secret' to awesomeness

This might be a dumb question, but what is the best way to do this if you don't have that nice contour where the old speaker was? Like if you have just a smooth door panel with different elevations. But want to build out from it.

#Secret : Mark, you should try putting on a layer of baby powder over your skin before cutting or grinding the fiberglass. It blocks the pores so the glass shards cant wedge themselves into them and itch profusely for the week. #protip

secret, nice job on the fiberglass work.

love your secrets

mark just cant seem to keep his car audio techniques SECRET. lol THATS WASSUP!

Where did you get the roller for working out the bubbles? Also secret and the new background is cool.

i know this video is old but was wondering at what point did u put tape on the back side of the panel

Did you let the fiberglass cure between layers or did you put all the layers of fiberglass matt at once?

Secret. . . Great videos

secret!!!! I love your videos mang

What's the SECRET to life? a loud flush install!!

Templates. Thanks pertaining to your details when covering your techniques.

Lot of secrets learned !!

id like to do this on a Ford Focus 2008 my door panels have a funny shape and a pocket n cup holder at the bottom id like to utilize this space for my speakers 10" mid bass drivers and tweeters. since the door panel is not flat any sugestions that might help me ? Also the 10 midbass woofers ideally need to be in sealed enclosures to get the right type of response how go i calculate for this and make a sealed pod that is mountable ? Great videos bro

What do u do about the heat the fiberglass creates, does it not warp the door panel and make it tougher to use? Thanks,
