need help with sub box
#6
I built mine (you can see pics in my profile).
I have no time to help you, but if it's your first attempt it's going to take you awhile.
You first need to cut out your base using MDF wood.
Then cut out your rings for your subs.
After that position them using wooden dowels.
Then staple your felt to the wooden base and rings to form the shape you are trying to achieve. Obviously you might need more wood to achieve whatever shape you are going for.
Pour fiberglass resin on the felt, then fiberglass pack, then fiberglass resin and so on and so on.
Sand it down, then apply bondo, sand it down, apply bondo, etc.
After your happy with it, go to a paint shop for them to finish it and paint it.

I've built two, working on my third.
Use as much MDF as you can, the less fiberglass you have to do the better.
Don't do any fiberglass work in the house, the smell is strong. Also, use a charcoal respirator.
Try to lay it as smooth as possible, the better you lay the glass the less sanding and body filler you will need.
Use a power sander, the Black and Decker Mighty Mouse works for me.
You can use spraypaint if you go with a clearcoat on top and use a basic color. I've used rattle can and two-part automotive. The automotive gives a better shine and lasts longer, but needs a paint gun, compressor and the paint costs more.
Practice makes perfect. Start with something smaller, like a tweeter housing until you get the feel of working with glass.
Sorry I'm too far away to help you in person.
