restored at 100 k?
Hey. I have an old sub kicking around (ADS RS10) back from the days when I was into car audio. I've wanted to put into my jeep for a while now but don't want to sacrafice any room at all. I really don't care much for the stereo and don't plan on putting in a high end stereo, I just figured since I have it, I'll use it. My plan is to build a whole new center console that is extended back to the step on the floor before the rear seats. It'll hold a 10" sub facing back. I've never worked with fiberglass before so I'm looking for any suggestions or help. I was planning on making the frame for the console out of metal brackets used in home building...angle brackets used for wooden studs ect. Once I have the outside frame built, I'm gonna wrap the whole thing in a fine metal mesh that I can bend and form to the shape I want. Once that's done, I was going to fiberglass the whole thing. Who knows, mabye I'm going about this all wrong. Mabye I should make the frame out of wood, then fiberglass it since I have access to almost any kind of woodworking machine you can think of. I don't want to make the whole thing out of wood, I want to fiberglass it since it's something I've never done before and want to try. I still haven't figured out how I'm going to make the lid or seal it down to make it air tight. Any suggestions?
