finally started on my install. been thinking about it for a while, but didnt want to spend the money. well here are some pics of what was done today, not much, but its a start:






the pictures wont give you much info on whats being done, but i think you get the general idea. hopefully i can work on it some more this weekend. will update with more pics soon.

i can't wait till it gets warm enough to fiber glass i nmy trunk, good start what are you doing like 3 amp racks and 2 subs?

two amps, one sub. i think i will invert the sub, looks nice inverted and the dust cap is a little dented anyways.

A suggestion for next time you glass:

Lay tape everywhere in the trunk (just to be safe), spray some "spray glue" (same stuff you use to carpet boxes, lay some foil paper, then lay your glass. By using foil paper you insure that the glass doesnt creep between the tape and sticking to ther car!


Other than that looks good! Im gonna start the custom work on mine and my girls vic pretty soon!

i was thinking about doing that. i am doing this at my local shop (friends of mine). they've done a lot of installs this way, and they claimed that the worst that can happen this way is that the dynamat logo's will come off with the glass, lol. i trust them, but you gave great info.
hopefully tomorrow i can do the fleece and resin for the amp rack, and figure out exactly what i am going to do with the sub.

Hmm... taping the entire trunk off and foiling over it is pretty much the method they teach you at any glassing class you take. Fishman teaches it, Alpine, Audio Insttute, etc. They all use the foil method. It works exceptionally well, and I'd recommend it to anyone that's glassing. As for only the Dynamat logo coming off. Yeah, thet'll happen, and if it seeps past the tape (like over the edge) for a decent sized run, you're gonna have a pisser getting it off.

not worried about, more being done than just that taped off area, but i appreciate the help and concern.

i just do a double tape everywhere then wax the tape. that works great cause you won't have to do near as much sanding, because due to the wax the tape comes off the back really easy. ive never heard the fiol method. next time i fiberglass i'll try that.

I'm a foil man myself. Better safe than sorry.

Your method does work, Im just saying that if the resin gets through the tape, your gonna have a hard time pulling out the box and rack not to mention your gonna be pulling Dynamat chunks with it!
