Nice

May I HIGHLY recommend thoroughly sound deadening the area before you whack the fibreglass down? Mini steel isn't exactly thick, and will rattle and reverborate like nobody's business!

[insamoufonyx]

its already got loads of lead flashing on the other sides of the pannels to stop them resonating

UPDATE:

Played with tape again today lol



Then i mixxed up some resin and riped my some fiberglass, i did 2 or 3 layers and got this



hopefully will be nicely hardend in the morning to pop off the boot lid and then strengthen where nessesary and then trim,
and if that dries in time then i will attach the mdf part that holds the amp in place to that mold

just went and looked at the mold and i did some of it too thin, it got dark when i was doing it and couldnt see lol, going to bulk it up in a min then hopefully will be hard enough to pop it later!

played with filler and mdf today

Boot lid amp tray thingy


Back bench build (Duhh)

Stage one: make MDF base



Stage 2: Cut speaker rings and position using off cuts held in place with a hot glue gun



Stage 3: Make another the same as before and fit

Going to stick it in place tommorrow and take a picture of it how it will look when all done

cheers for reading

[frankiebateman]

looks great so far just wondering how did you get the dip in th middle ? did it just do it when you streched the material ?

[insamoufonyx]

Hey, i just streched the material tighter over the middle bit, the tighter you pull it the more it dips

after im finished with the project im going to make a step by step guide on how to do exactly what ive done seeing as quite a few people are interested
