[pmitch5]

hi all ICE heads.

i need some hints n tips if poss.

1stly iv seen some new sub boxes in max power than fit snugly over ur real wheel arches but at ?125 per side i fancy havin a go myself and just wondered if fiberglasscan be moulded round metal sum how without it sticking?

also when ur making ice installs and you c al these smoooooth finishes is that just fiberglass filled n smoothed and how do you mount subs n such in these, is there a minimum thickness required cos i though it would crack?

hope yoiu guys can help

just use black bin bags to cover then metal the fibreglass onto that mate

if making a fibreglass build these are some tips for ya:

1) first make a false floor to fit snugg in the boot.
2) cover the area you dont want the fiberglass to stick to in masking tape.
3) make your desired shape out of cardboard and chicken wire ( it doesnt matter if its not perfect ).
4) get your fibreglass and use the cardboard box as a mould.
5) the thicker the layers the better.
6) sand down box ready for primer.
7) its a good idea to make a wood surround to go inbetween the fibreglass and the sub.
8)prime and spray !

the better you sand your box the better the paint job will be

any more questions p2p me

cheers luke :)
