THe resin I speak of is semi-flexable. Contact Nick if interested. I am stoked to have a friend thats going through the same journey in life that I am. (new home, that is). Lotta work.

I have knowledge of a better resin to use but have swore to secrecy. I suggest contacting Nick. (from FI) I am wiring in my 220 hot tub here directly, I ain't scared. (and know the proper wiring for a sub panel)

If you are using an epoxy resin it is going to depend on the type of hardener you have. They can range from 4:1 to 1:1 ratios. Epoxy resin produces a "prettier" layup and is normally used in vacuuming applications. Polyester is a cheaper material and is most commonly used. I use polyester on nearly everything and it runs me $100 per 5 gallons. The epoxy resin I use for carbonfibre and Kevlar accent pieces and it runs me about $80 per gallon with hardener.

I have used cottton shirts and fleece blanket. Both worked great for me. Thats fukt to hear about the learning curve with the hardener, I always just wing the mix too. Kool to see you trying the ports on the midbasses, I may try the same thing if I ever get back to finishing my doors, I fear with my alignment I my end up with two ports per door though. We will see what the modeling says... Are you wiring your own sub panel for your welder? And goddanm you filled my inbox when I was out of town, keep up the killer work!

You want to use 1.5 to 2 percent mekp to resin

You want to use a 100 percent polyester material. For some reason polyester resin does not harden as well on cotten. Most "car audio" stretching material is Alpine fleece. I use fleece from hobby lobby. At 3 bucks a yard off the discount rack you can get cheap.

I have heard a lot of people using 100% polyester Ponte with good results. Is that what you used, if not have you looked into it at all? Can pick it up at Joanne's fabrics.

Material has to be stretched very tight before you start to add the resin. (not trying to tell you something you may already know) When I have done work like this the tighter it is, it seems to work better for me. I have used a fleece blanket (thick as well) but have had good results. Have not tried a T-shirt as of yet... I'm sure you will get it!

Shell is out and trimmed Baffle is in place. I 'glassed the dow rods in place. I choose a two way fabric. I am doubting it... Fabric is resin'd. Till next time...

You could. There is no such thing as under powering a sub. It would even leave some room for upgrades in the future assuming your dead set on the icons

Love the truck man. Thats some real quality work, and a shit ton of it at that. Nice job.

Maybe the dying alt cooked the battery? Did you get your DC Power dual alts?

Were you planning on upgrading your electrical too? If not I wouldn't try to push more than 1500W. Even that much is too much for my comfortability. Have you thought of just getting a single 15 on around 1000W? You could get a nice 15 and a nice amp within that budget. Just a thought

great looking truck and install!

Ooh brand noo powah

You could look into the presale for Sundowns SD-2 line. They're not a full on shallow mount sub though. I don't know if they would fit your needs or not, but here is the thread if you wanted to look into it Sundown SD-2 10/12 "500-Watt" Subwoofer Pre-Order

Well the f'n cloth never hardened after many failed attempts to get it to. I ended up ripping it off the door and laying down fresh tape and this time I used fiberglass mat. I was much more careful with mixing the resin and hardener. The mat was alot easier to apply and is thicker as well. The fiberglass shell is nearly hardened after about an hour of sitting in the sun. I am hoping to have the mounting baffle resin'd in today. I was not sure how much fiberglass mat I was going to need for this project. Like I said this is my first time working with 'glass. I will need to stop at the paint shop tomorrow and pick up more packages of fiberglass mat to finish this stage of the door build. Clearly on my first attempt at laying down the fiberglass cloth I did not use enough hardener, lesson learned Here are a few pictures of the firework display in Coplay, PA that I took last night

sorry but I do not sell designs..... try Fisher... he may be able to help

So I finally convinced my girl to putting a system in her car. Lol I bought a 10" RE Audio SE-x dual 2 ohm and a Rockford Fosgate T500-1bd amplifier. I bought a premade sub box from Sonicelectronix.com its 1.3 cubic ft. The stuff came in today. Im so stoked on the install. I got kicker 2 gauge wring and stuff from my previous setup and I'll just use those wires. The problem is my girlfriend won't let me take her car to do the install. She hides the keys and always has the door locked lol. It's like she's ok with me putting the stuff in but won't let me. She's a lil teaser I wanna break in her car lol. Ive been watching YouTube with the coathanger trick and whatnot. Any suggestions? Lol She drives a 2008 Honda Civic. Is there a car alarm on it. Cause if so this may get ugly.
