Experience builders... Kick panel building...

is it OK if I don't use FOIL on top of the carpet, before the tape?

I think I'm going to put the OEM carpet with "Yaris" logo and tape on top, so I can get the carpet down there with out cutting it!

Here are the pictures of what I did a couple of nights ago...

Looks good let me know how that works for you i have been looking into making custom fit enclosure like that in a wheel well or next to one

I kicked a response onto DIYMA

It's going to warm up a little bit here in next couple of days, I'll take advantage and work some fiberglass!

Work it brother! Pics!

derickveliz2 · 02-18-2011, 03:33 AM

Wow!

I think I hit the wall, 3:40 am and I made a mess. Working with glass making kickpanels it's very hard.

I'll show pictures of my frustration, I think I can make it work... we'll see!

If you could see how big my smile is...

I have a hint for you that can make your panel fab a little easier.

First, what was the most difficult part of the glass laydown?

OK, besides getting down there and doing some Yoga... the most difficult part was applying the resin on the upper section/vertical areas. The fleece just kept sticking everywhere out of place. I guess I need to be more aggressive and not to be afraid to work with more than 6 oz of resin at a time.

Got my Lil sub in a .56 cu ft ported box....Nice balance of sound now, and with the fronts not doing anything under 100hz, they are livin better too. Gotta play with settings, but so far so good!
I bet that is a hard shape to lay freehand. Listen to SQ Derick. Maybe learn from his "experience"........

derickveliz2 · 02-19-2011, 12:44 AM

Here are the pictures of the kick panels in wanna be kick panels...

Get set GO!

This morning every thing looked ok, very stiff and rock solid, I don't know if I should pull them out and keep adding layers or do another layer down there?

sqcomp · 02-19-2011, 02:11 AM

Eeek...it's just me, I wouldn't lay day down fleece as a bottom layer. Butnow that I know you did, we can work with making that fleece straight. Do what you can to make the substrate as flat as possible for a few more layers. I use fleece to wrap the top of the enclosure.

Show me pics of how you lay down glass matting. I may have some suggestions.

Well, the first batch was kind of random, just trying to cover the fleece at least once or twice in some areas, My intention was to place them at 90 degrees overlapping with each other starting from top to bottom, but didn't happen.

It got cold again, Brrrr

The issue starts here. We need to keep the substrate flat to get the closest fit to the panel. If the base isn't flat it is VERY difficult to get a build up with all those waves that we see. Also, it's probably better to use chop mat versus glass weave in that area. Chop mat is great for build up, which is what you're trying to do.

It wasn't easy to pull that thing out!

The waves kind of filled in and made a flat surface in the back, the second layer filled in the uneven areas on top, I just added another layer, it's very heavy and solid, I'm going to add another layer or 2 then trim out and glue in the ring for the speaker, any suggestion for aiming the L6s? my feeling is 30-45 degrees at the stick???

This is not easy, I guess after doing it half a dozen times, it gets better!

derickveliz2 · 02-23-2011, 05:04 PM

I did a second layer, now I'm going to try to pull it out, trim and reinforce it.
