[RANT] i am in the process of making a fiberglass sub box to hold the four eD 9kv.2's i am getting.

last night i got my spare tire well all taped up and 2-3 layers of glass layed down.

i popped it out of the trunk and added a couple more layers until i went to bed last night.

now i wake up today wanting to finish the fiberglassing and build the mdf top of the box.

but it has been raining all freaking day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

i went ahead and added more glass even though it probably wasnt a good idea with the weather and that one is almost done drying (with the help of 2 spot heaters).

but i cant get out the table saw to cut my mdf pieces and the jigsaw is at our shop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

so i am sitting here on my day off wishing i could work on this **** box.

and i cant put my amps back in until i finish this box so i have no music in my car either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

this is just shaping up to be a crappy *** day.

oh well maybe the rain will stop later. [/RANT]

Glass inside //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. Resperator FTW.

I'm glad I have a car port to work under. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
Yeah, you don't want to glass with rain... you'll regret it!
yeah i found that out.

and it is just barely raining enough that i cant do anything.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif i just checked the weather channel and there is a lot of rain heading my way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

well i was doing it on the back porch out of the rain.

and my parents would kill me if i did it inside.

they dont like it when i bring finished pieces inside because they stink so bad.

i have a respirator too but the filters i have are just for dust so they dont help much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I feel your pain, man! That storm has kept me from finishing my install this whole weekend. Been raining here three days straight, and I live in the **** desert!

well the rain is a good thing because we have had very little this year but why did it have to come today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

and to add to this crap my soda just exploded in my face/froze solid //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

doesnt sound like its your day. i would just go and borrow a jig saw or go to the shop and get it and cut the board, a lil rain never hurts
i went ahead and pulled out the table saw on the back porch so i could get some pieces cut.

i started to fill it with water to figure out the volume but i have 2 or 3 pinhole leaks and i dont have any more resin to patch them with.

so i am going to make a run to homedepot and grab some more resin and some mat.

hopefully it isnt raining tomorrow and i can get some work done on it before i have to go to work.

the 9kv.2's will be here wednesday and i want it to be pretty much ready to drop them in.

now i just need to figure out how i am going to do the top.

right now i am planning on diong just a flat mdf baffle flush mounting them in that.

but with all this fiberglassing i might just go ahead and make the top out of fiberglass and mount the subs some other way.

who knows.

i guess i will figure out tomorrow, one way or another.

Indeed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/toast.gif.bc0657bf54b9ee653b6438524461341e.gif

Active Carbon Resperator filters FTW.
with those do you still smell the fiberglass or do they cut down on that.

and by inside I mean garadge.
i wish i could work in my garage but we have a 2 car garage full of boxes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

maybe some day we will be able to park our cars in the garage.
