I'm wanting to make a set of speaker pods, which would go on top of the buttom door card. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what i need for this.

I know i need fibreflass and filler and some sort of catalyst but i'm not exactly sure what to buy. If anyone could give me a link to some items from http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/ - i was told it's fairly cheep from there. Then that would be great.

Thanks

fiber glass consists of a resin and a hardener

the resin is liquid and hardener is like a paste

i use "fastglass" but i suppose if you need litres of it it will be expensive

you will need MDF to build up the frame for the speaker pod

then streatch a material over the frame, any streatchy fabric will do

anything else you need to know?

these will be fine but postage on these items is expensive and will bump up the cost, look for a boat builders or laminator fibreglass works near yours they will sell you some poly resin and fillers as they will be better quality than fast glass
