Jeep door pods build

[here to buy 10+ year member]

hi

im going to take the time and make a log for my first solo fiberglass build, its my first time glassing without help of a shop pro. i've helped out with glassing around the local shop, but just laying down mat and punching it with resin, so thats the bulk of my own glassing experience lol, UNTIL NOW!!

its for 2 Mpyre 7" mids per door.

anyways, here are pics, finished this passenger side pod buildup 2 days ago

cutting up virgin doors

put plastic epoxy down, than resined over it quick and matted the area up, creating a stiff backside enclosure that'll be fully sealed when everything is done.

after last layer of mat (2-4 layers all around)

there is a whopping 30 oz of resin on this pod!!!!!

cutting out holes, test fit mids

trimmed a lil

angle

my friend will be doing the sanding and finishing work on them,

That looks like a LOT of resin on there in the last pic. Have fun with sanding/body filling //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

today i started the drivers side pod, just fleeced the pod shape

heres pics,

hot glue is where its at!

i screwed up a lil around here and had to cut and seam to avoid a big overlapped crease

i now hate fleece, wont be using it anymore myself in the future, should of borrowed some of this lycra material they use at the shop

Rabbet an edge into the outside of the baffle... staple the fleece into that edge... then after the resin starts to gel slice if off right above the edge.

Then you have a clean baffle to mount to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Try using less resin on the driver side pod. Just use enough resin to completely soak the fiberglass. Less is more.

Shouldn't have made them sealed, thats way to small for 2 7s.

obviously the airspace is not ideal, but it is larger than it looks in the pics, the cutout map pocket is recessed into the jeep doors deep, so the pods are around 9-10 inches deep
