    instead of the kittyhair, i would recommend the fibertech instead.

    kitty hair is a longer strand courser fiberglass filler, where the fibertech is more of a smoother body filler with small reinforcing pieces of fiberglass for strength. it will sand a lot smoother and allow you to go straight to the finish filler like easy sand, instead of using the rage gold as a middling step.

    kittyhair is great for structural projects, but tweeters pods are hardly structural ;)

    I had contemplated this before I purchased but wasn't completely sure what I needed. I may not need it anyway but I'll use it if I need to. I don't want to spend any more money since I already have the kitty hair. Although, I've already changed my mind on the mount and am thinking of using a different structure.

    Got a few more toys in the mail. Swapping the GB15’s for GB10’s. Helix M Four I’m going to bridge 2 channels for the midbase and swap them with the rears on the P Six.

    dopint something similar, going with AF three way and coaxial for rear fill. JL VX800i and 1000/5i. I have the JBL but want to keep the head unit, and teetering omn replacing the HU. I'll wait till CES comes out to see new options.

    Talk to me about the sail panels I see you did them, have you 3D printed in and angle. also would be interested in buying a set.

    I didn't build an angle into the 3D mount. I used popsicle sticks glued in to the 3D ring to make the angle and then filled it will body filler.
