if i was to make them again, once i had the fibreglass frame i would make the shape with expanding foam, cut it too shape which is very easy, then put some resin over it then a skim of filler, very easy to do. | |

I'd certainly suggest another layer of fibreglass matting to make it more solid. If you use the fibreglass paste on it would make the build heavier. Using sheets cuts down on the weight. | |

quote: i know this is for beardy, but spray the foam in the back of the door cards, but obviously not in the speaker recess areas, just around them, so put abit of rolled up card in the speaker holes (so its a tight fit) the spray the foam around them - leave it to set, the sand any of it down if needed :D my mate did this after he built his door pods as he said they sounded crap, but they sound pretty meaty and solid since hes filled them with foam :thumbs: [Edited on 15-03-2004 by VisibleMan] [Edited on 15-03-2004 by VisibleMan] | |

still good to get it near perfect - as after a whiel ur alcantara will pull away from the lwo spots and leave sags - get it smooth as possible for the finish | |

Sand it up first - to find high and low spots - then use P40 - fibreglass filler to fill the gaps, continue to sand an fill till u get a top notch glass finish. | |
