Ouch. That hurt.

Ehh, we will talk about what youre doing and figure it out later... Procrastination is a GOD!

 

Haha, I know I know. Its probably going to be the b@stard child of fiberglass and have anyone that knows anything about fiberglass shaking their head

 

That would be sig worthy if I had the room.

 

Half assed..thats what I do best.

 

Well....I didnt get shlit done today...SUPRISE!

Pulled out the mids and the baffle I had them mounted on and played with some different angles, but I had other stuff to work on so I didnt get anything accomplished.

Not as much room in there as I had remembered either, might have to change plans some...

 

Yah im slow on my box progress too, im counting about 8 months its been out now

just too damn hot when i get off work to go sit on my porch and sand the filler

atleast i got my interior half assed put back together for now.....

 

hey low, how many layers of glass do you usually use and how much body filler?
also, what grit sandpaper?
ive done a couple boxes and they came out ok, but id really like to learn more about it and be a little more efficient

 

The amount of layers is really going to depend on, size, shape, location of curves, speaker inside, fleece used or not, MDF used or not, use of mat or weave, etc.

80 grit is all thats really needed to knock down filler.

1/8" AT MOST! of body filler. The least possible. If using fleece, get your shape and get it set. Then when ready to fill, you want it just where the fleece is starting to show. But the filler is easiest to sand and work with just at the point where its set but not yet hard. I recommend using a "cheese grater" and when it is to the right point, it will not clog the grater but come off like grated cheese...

Theres a lot of knowledge to let go, but you really are going to have to ask the right questions. Theres no way in hell I would be able to let all the knowledge out just as is. But Id love to help you learn a bit better tips/techniques

 

well then which body filler do you use?
you seem not to like bondo
what grit do you use to finish the box, or do you just do 80 and then layer paint?

 

rage gold

 

x10000!!!!

Bondo is crap stuff.

I havent painted my stuff. I normally just wrap it in Vinyl, leather, suede, or carpet. Just depends on the order. I would only assume, that it would be sand with 80, 240, 600, 1K, then primer, wetsand that and paint.

I was going to try it, but havent had the money lately. The mobile electronics industry is TANKING! Im a staunch repub. but I am almost for impeaching anyone and everyone making things 4.xx a gallon, its killing my business.

 

Blame the Liberal Congress not letting us drill for oil.

 

seriously, like who cares if we kill of some random *** animal
if they are that close to going extinct, they are going to die at some point
sounds cruel, but really
on the other hand, from what i have heard, the estimated amount of oil in alaska would only supply us for like 1 year
ANWR however........

 

ANWR, plus offshore drilling on BOTH the east and west coast....could supply us for decades....

 

more than just decades
ANWR is estimated to have a trillion barrels of oil
we use less than 8 billion a year
1,000,000,000,000/8,000,000,000=125 years
...from ANWR alone
