Still working on this? I want to see more pics? How are they turning out? Are you putting 6.5's in there?

Hey, I was wondering if you knew of a good place to get carpeting and a terminal cup for a subwoofer box. Anywhere you know of in the bay area?

Also, what type of body filler do you use? and what type of fiberglass? I'm almost done collecting materials for what is now turning out to be several potential projects.

i took a break from working on my car for a week but i should be done with the project this week. i dont if i am going to cover them with suede or paint them yet so i am going to hold off on that for a week or two but i want a running system by monday.

you can get carpet at pretty much any stereo store. (not a fry's or best buy)
as for terminals go to radio shack.

i used 1.5 oz fiberglass mat
-Tap Plastics resin

-Tap Plastics hardener

-Evercoat Everglass short strand body filler to build up the shape of the door panels and box over the hardened fleece
-Evercoat Rage Gold body filler to smooth out the panels. Rage is a lighter version of the everglass and is easier to sand.
-Cream harneder for the body fillers.

update.... i took my panels to the body shop today. it turned out to be alot cheaper to get them painted than covered in suede. the labor for suede job was going to run me 300 plus material. the paint job is running me 100 for both. i should have them back on monday and put together by tuesday night in order for my road trip to Vegas for the CES show.

Nice job. Can't wait to see the finished product. You have far more patience than I could ever have.

looks good.

Hey thanks for the advice on the fiberglass. I've so far managed to make a stealthbox for my friend's MDX and my wife's civic. Thought I'd get some practice in before I touched my car. I think custom door panels will be in order as well. Interested to see how yours turn out.

I tried tweeters all over the front of my car and have pretty much gone back to the a-pillars time and time again. Its just hard to beat the path length! That and all the depth behind the plastic of the a-pillar makes it a really easy install.

I'll give it to you when I can figure out where all my money went. Doing it yourself is less expensive than going to a shop, but it certainly isn't cheap.

Finally got them done before my CES road tirip.
I still have to put the pockets back in and tweak a few things but they are pretty much done.
