i really think im going to fiberglass a re10 in and use a roundport with it.. i doubt i have enough fiberglass comming though.

edit: better yet, skip the re sub and use my 13w1v2... only issue is gettin gthe volume of the box right.

You may want some fleece or some old t shirts if you plan on shaping the box around a trim ring.

i won't be starting a box, just playing around for now..

anyway:

i got all the sht i need to start the fging, except the fiberglass... where is my package?! really, the fedex place is like a 10 minute drive if that, and it arrived in charleston at 7am.

Personally I prefer old t-shirts. I've just had much better luck with thinner materials. Problem I've had with thicker materials is that I get NO penetration all the way through when I apply the resin.

could i use some old tshirts from foot locker? i think i've reasd that cotton isn't a great choice.

Definately Kickpanels. If I remember right the factory speakers are mounted low in the doors. Bad Place For Speakers. A good set of kickpanels will really make a difference in the sound of your car
