My 06 Altima slow build log

Recommended Posts

Well guys I been on this forum for a lil while and its overdue that I make a build log. I dont have much $ flow to work with so, I have to sacrifice some things to get what I have. This enclosure was originally for a 15" Fi BL, it was 3.5 ft sq, tuned to 34hz. I redid it for a 15" FI BTL. Pretty much took the face off and had help from a friend guide me through it. This was a quick fix for my enclosure and it still holding on. I dont hve much pics of the build log, but I will post what I have. I redid the enclosure to 4 ft sq tuned to 34Hz. I used PVC for aeros and flared them, but not so good job. :shrug:

Ok i think I almost figured out the uploading pics thing, damn. This one is a side view with the face off. On the first pic posted that is what the old enclosure looked like.

This is the fitment of the BTL on the hole. This will be a double baffle. No flush mount this time.

These are the PVC 4'' that I am using as ports. Fits okay in the baffle. Holes cut with a jigsaw FTW!

These are also pictures of the enclosure getting sprayed outside. This is that gritty spray/ gritty feel. Primer first!

I finished making some kick panels for my ride. This was my first fiberglass and bondo project. Ive had these done for over 2 months now. This was a very messy job but hey they turned out okay. Yall please let me know what you think.

These are where they are wrapped and have SOME fiberglass on them, not to beautiful of a site. You should have seen the wrapping itself, looked like crap. I think I may have used the wrong type of material.

For the first time making flared ports I think they turned out good. A little more flare on them so they will sit flat on the enclosure and you'll be ready to go into production! I've been thinking bout a homemade style of aero myself, may try it on an enclosure I'm designing now.

Kicks, practice makes perfect!! Overall I think they have a good shape. One thing I have seen with fiberglass is if you can get as close to the final shape you want before you start glassing the less bondo and sanding you will have to do.

Keep up the good work!!! I wanna see some more of your progress!!

Sorry I dont have pics of the actual bondo. I used Dynalite for the bondo process. But here are the kicks all painted up, no clear coat yet. I tried to match them to look as the same color as my car. Tell me what you all think.
