I stil get people asking if a roller is nessacary. I say yes, if you want a bubble free flat surface that will cure solid.

Thats all I took pics of. The rain distracted me.

[dbornotdb]

resined up the pods and clamped them down on the door panels. That way, when the resin cures, it will cure shapped to the door and not warped.

Do a few layers of mat for strength.....

[dbornotdb]

Cut and trim the back of it so you can mount the speakers inside.

And to answer the question I know that will come....... they will be IB in the door.
I have sealed these speakers up before and ran them IB and they sound so much better IB.

[BlkMica_03]

I stil get people asking if a roller is nessacary. I say yes, if you want a bubble free flat surface that will cure solid.



can also try a rubber squgee like a small one or the plastic spreaders for bondo, i do all my glassing that way no brushes or nething just smear the resin over it and push it into the matt

[dbornotdb]

Here are the inserts.

as usual epic you did some really good work man. love the rings you did look great man. keep up the great work.

[PV Audio]

WTF push terminals on Dayton RS woofers? Are those the 4 ohm version or somethin, cause it's not like that on the 8 ohm (solder terminals).

[dbornotdb]

Yes sir. The RS180-4.
Nice speakers.

[dbornotdb]

I had some people asking how there were going to be attached to the panels.
I was going to use a few speed clips to hold it tight, but it wasn't needed.


There are currently 5 screws on each panel. And when he gets here tonight, I will show him what I suggest to do towards the front of the panel. There is nothing on the factory door panel to attach to. So a silicone adheisive will have to be used.


Anyways..... 2 screws behind the insert and 3 on the back of the panel........

Well he picked them up tonight. He posted a pic of them installed on his doors on another forum, fiberglassforums.
If he doesn't post them here, I will bring them over.

[dbornotdb]

He got them home and threw them on his car for a quick pic.
Keep in mind, they still need to be wrapped in suede. And he will send me daytime pics soon.
