system build in my 07 access cab

Thanks man and I guess so haha.

I am either going to put duraglass over them and then glass it or cut out the problem areas and re glass it to make it smooth again. I'm not too sure yet. If I fill all the folds with glass I feel that would lead to more work in the finishing stages.

 

Yeah you can cut it out and re wrap it. You can also cut it out and use thick paper and just glass over the paper the fleece might be hard to redo in small spots.

 

I might use the paper idea. I was thinking about just cutting it and using tape on the back but paper would be more sturdy.

 

Yeah it worked for me I had a saggy spot on my buddies box and the paper work like a charm.

 

Cool, thanks for that tip. I will have to try that out tomorrow.

 

I ended up adding 4 layers of glass on the back of the side with the folded over fabric and then grinded it down smooth and duraglassed over it. On the other side I added duraglass over the wrinkles to smooth it out. Also I cut the dowel's and set in place for the vertical braces and I got the back of the molds duraglassed.

 

How many hours have you put into this build? Are you getting pretty close to completion?

 

I think I have worked on it 16 days so far and I usually don't do more than 4 hours a day so I would say maybe around 64 hours total. It's just a matter of doing the glass work, body work, build the trim panel, mount the amp and wire, and mount the subs and wire. So hopefully it will be finished in the next week or so.

 

Keep us updated man. Are those brand new subs? Is that a ported sub box? Slot port?

 

I bought them new but have been using them for a while now. It's ported

 

Any updates? You must have a lot of patience to build that box ahah.

 

Yup, I got some work done today. And thanks haha.

Layer number one of eight is down on the box, and I got the amp mounted and wired up underneath the seat.

 

That port is massive. What is that port tuned to? Good luck with the rest of the install

 

It's tuned to about 28.6hz. 156.9in^2 of port area

 

Your going to blow your roof of man haha.

 

I hope so haha. jk. But I just want to move massive amounts of air.

 

No pictures, but I have been doing a lot of glass work lately. I will do an area maybe 5"x5" with 8-9 layers at a time and move on to a different area of the box. I'm hoping to finish glassing it tomorrow.

 

I can't wait to see it. Are you going to paint it?

 

Yea I'm planning on painting it a metallic blue. I was originally going to match the color of the truck but I don't have enough of that paint left over from doing the front so I am just going to go with my favorite color and also respray the dash kit. should look good
