Fiberglass tweeter pod build

[tylork92 10+ year member]

Originally was gonna mount the tweets to the door but didnt want to mess em up so i got bored today and made some tweeter pods for my A-pillar.....gonna compliment my door pod build seen here: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=411386

Used a angled piece of PVC pip as the mounting part and fleece as material to resin

Bondoed and Sanded( the resin the mounting parts dont look perfectly round is hotglue squeezed out when i was stretching the fleece..that will be melted away):

and here they hare with Bondo spot filler...these will be sanded and primed later on today.

Next time use grill cloth instead of fleece for something like this. Will make things a lot easier.

Those do look a bit outta place, But with after market seats its hard for any of us to tell.

Did you play around with tweeter placment before glassing?

Spot filler isn't supposed to be used to cover the whole thing.

It's for spots.

You got a shit ton more sanding if you're going to paint it.

i like spandex better. grill cloth is toooooo thin/fragile for me.

spandex/lycra is FTW when glassing.

a-pillars look good.

i used a thin layer over EVERYTHING because the sander i was using left marks over it all...this way everything is smooth and uniform and i kno i got all the spots filled.
