WELCOME TO MY FIBERGLASS PAGE |

Car audio has always been an interest of mine, as well as an interest of my friends. Using fiberglass to build custom speaker enclosures is one way to use elements of design in a real-life application. |

This shows the ring once it is mounted in place. Quarter inch dowels and hot glue were used in the process. To get the dowels in place, a jigsaw was used to cut them to the proper length. A dab of glue held each dowel in place until all eight were sized up, then I went back in and added more glue for some structural integrity. |

A piece of cheap fleece was stretched over the ring and glued onto the back of the mold. This defined the rest of the volume of the enclosure. Then, to make a hard base for applying fiberglass, resin was soaked into the fleece and set to dry. |

This is after the first or second layer of fiberglass has been applied to the fleece surface. It's definately taking shape now... |
