Che'_Moderator Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Are you just carpeting that?Looks like it's nice and strong. Everyone thinks fiberglass is the devil, but it's not really that bad!I filled and glazed it so if I decide to paint it I just need to block it. Other wise its carpet worthy now. I will probably prime and laquor black it this weekend assuming I have time for another 2 hours of sanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomin850 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Wow...came out very nice. What's the hrs spent so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Wow...came out very nice. What's the hrs spent so far?About 6 hours. 8 if you include the rings. I lost my guide so I had to make a new one. If I decide to piano finish it, it will take me an hour or so to block it and then 2-3 hours for paint. I am going to make sure it fits though and finish the mounts as its a funky ass side mount box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a router, but it's a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGB Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 8 if you include the rings. I lost my guide so I had to make a new one. Looks like roto-zip and home-made guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Looks like roto-zip and home-made guide.I do not like the router guide. I cannot get as much control. I am a tard with MDF so roto-zip does better for me. That guide is once I threw together in 30 minutes. I used to have a much nicer one I made. With a mill you can make a nice one in about an hour. With a drill press you can make a ghetto one in about 30 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomin850 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Just buy some of these:http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=43998Really big...ugly...thin...and they don't flushmout the speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Picture looks like crap, but if you mount one over the top of the speaker they are perfect for a flush mount. They completely hide the mounting ring and perfectly expose the surround. Yes, they are a little big around and thin... They'll be plenty strong with a few layers of glass on them. But I'd still rather stack 2/3 of these than try to cut a decent circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
