after about a year of listening to friends complain about no leg room because of my sub i decided to remidy the problem!
first:
do this in a well ventalated place with a resperator and gloves! this stuff gets nasty and you dont want it in your lungs or on your hands
second:
this project is all about the prep work and trial and error if its your first time, take your time and you should get a satasfactory result.
supplies:
2 packs of chop matt from autozone - 15.00
1 pack of weve matt -7.00
1,2,3 inch chip brushes - 10.00
1 gallon of resin - 40.00
2 rolls blue painters tape- laying around the house- free
2 pair of sharp sizzors- 6.00
1 speaker ring - varies
flease fabrick- varies
graduated mixing cups- 5.00
1 quart acitone-7.00
car wax
steps
1 prep work and planning are key. I chose the rear corner of the passengers side of the truck to place my sub. I pulled my passangers seat to give me room to work then taped off the area i wanted to glass. Tape 6 inches further then you will glass if you get resin on your carpet it WILL NOT come out! Some people do a layer of tin foil and then tape over it for extra protection, my carpet wasnt in amazing shape so i chose to just go with tape. You can see that i taped to a little over the centerline of the cab and covered the floor to there the front seat bolts are because i would be working over this area with a cup of resin. I also taped around the jack stud rather then cutting it out i plan on using this as a point to secure my box to the truck.
2 Take your wax and apply a very liberal coating to your tape this will act as a mold release when you pull your base off you can kinda see the wax built up here on my tape layers
more to come!
