Fiberglass Enclosures

deon · 07-16-2007, 08:13 AM

Is there anyone on the board here (San Antonio) who is good with fiberglass enclosure builds?

I'd be interested in trade - for labor. (If you're interested in Subwoofer drivers - let me know)

I'm running an s-197, and will shortly be in need of a decent install - but my enclosure building skills are limited to prototyping systems in MDF, not aesthetics.

Thanks

How "showy" are you looking for?

I think Dean @ PSI made his own FG boxes.

Check out 210 Customs on 281/Bitters. They're doing some glass for the Cobra now.

Those are exactly what I'm looking for.

Any details? IOW how many net cubic feet of air space? The drivers he loaded - they 12's or 15's?

In the interest of time - and simplicity (I'm doing it in 1 day sometime this week) - it's looking like I've decided to use the spare tire well. There is a TON of space in there. At over 3 cubes before the squared off corners - it's more than enough for a pair of 12's.

Going to sollid mount and seal a mounting ring for a gasketed and removeable top plate - so I can run different drivers easilly. Just stuff em in firing upwards (don't do unless you have to or don't care - I don't care)

Any concern with the intertia switch for the fuel cut off being mounted inside the sub enclosure? BL^2/Re on the drivers aboput 150, running a clean 800 watts per, they will see a net of close to 2 cubes each - IOW I'll be able to over excurt their 26mm linear throw easilly...

you would be surprised how easy fiberglassing is these days.
I say you should try it yourself.
start with a very small model of the enclosure you want and see hoe it turns out.
then build the real one.

yea, every one votes for do it your self around here....
so i say the same thing, try it...lol
If you fail, just pay someone to do it...

deon · 08-09-2007, 12:58 AM

I'm 100% all about do it yourself.

Sub pix will be up in a day or two - used spare tire well. amost 4 cubes - perfect!
