@MrKastro502 7 жыл бұрын

When i was doing fiberglass we used johnsons paste wax (yellow can)... you can find it at walmart with the furniture polish... if you apply it right you can release from the mold with nothing more than an air sprayer and it pops out like an ice cube from a tray

Thumbs up for the effort! Came out really nice. As a professional I would suggest putting your sub under rear windshield, in a sedan like yours it gives the best sound, in a sealed box not free air of course. And protruding sub in trunk is an always matter of time of when this speaker will be damaged by a bag or something else carelessly thrown in a trunk, put a grill asap. Next time try to angle the sub in a trunk such way, that it don’t gets easily in a way of luggage and try making it not retract from the box it is in. An some inner cage would benefit on sound also, on higher volumes especially. Great work

I know this is old..but in case anyone else wondering, can always calculate the volume of odd shapes/places like this using packin peanut or somethin similar. fill the area in question, then make something like the graduated cylinder from science class but w/scrap cardboard boxes, make it real easy on yourself and do 1'*1'*X' where X= anything more than the volume could possibly be. just make sure not to pack the peanuts(or whatever media you use to calculate)denser in the space or measuring box so it's as similar space between,givin as accurate a measurement as possible. obviously this won't be exact but shapes like that part of the trunk you'd have to be a geometry wizard to figure out how to calculate. that or make the shape like they did, then see how much water it displaced in a large tote, but that would be much more time consuming and expensive for pretty similar results.

@48884BB 8 жыл бұрын

this is a realy nice build. it looks great and the trunk is still functional. however, I've heard people say that fibreglass is not good to make sub enclosures with because it flexes too much and screws up the sound of the woofer. but is this true? and if so, is there anything you can do to strengthen it? could you just make a wooden frame on the inside(if you reduce that from the airspace) or would that affect the sound as well?

@dalienware668 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, this is terrible for sound quality and it also rattle your decklid by facing the sub INTO the trunk.

There is always going to be those guys that critique your work. I say it looks great, and as long as youve pounded that sub and your not hearing any rattling or unwanted noice from the speaker box, then you accomplished what you wanted and I'm sure even if it was under the airspace required, still sounds better than stock, and you have your entire trunk for storage still. Congrats I think it looks great, will that box fit a 9th gen accord?
