got 3/4" thick mdf from home depot and they cut them in size for free..
but i needed something different..
used jigsaw to cut rest of part and so..

weather gets nicer and finally took some pic of bulding it..

this is original rough idea..but actual structure will look different..due to mis-calculate..

only if i had right tool and space to work on, this could be done tons better..not ghetto way..

Looks good for the "ghetto way"!

I don't think I could build anything that looks that good on my best day.

damn my schedule has been changed again...since new guy just showed up and taking my working time..

anyway, i still need to add more fiberglass inside box and outside..to give enough strength..

Building Sub Enclosure Updated Pic June 5th. - konafocuswrc - 04-27-2008

this is how it looks now..
subs are going to be mounted inverted like this..

Building Sub Enclosure Updated Pic June 5th. - ZX3_2NV - 04-29-2008

yaa i get the idea but will it be lieing down or alined to the seats or side of the hatch area?

Building Sub Enclosure Updated Pic June 5th. - konafocuswrc - 04-29-2008

Looking good so far, can't wait to see the finished product. BTW must be tricky taking a shower with the sub enclosure in there :lol:

Building Sub Enclosure Updated Pic June 5th. - konafocuswrc - 05-16-2008

just kidding..

i always keep that out from the tub, i only put that in when i need to apply fiberglass and sand..

Thanks for the chuckle - quite the image - and what's this about a "secret" layer - what is it - I promise not to tell!

Building Sub Enclosure Updated Pic June 5th. - konafocuswrc - 05-17-2008

actually it is not that secret..

it is mixture of resin and body filler..

but the secret is ratio to mix, when to apply..

Building Sub Enclosure Updated Pic June 5th. - konafocuswrc - 05-31-2008

almost done almost...
was thinking to paint it or wrap it using real carbon fiber but i am going to cover using fleece..
cheap, easy to stretch and looks half decent..
