About 20 years ago I used polyester resin mixed with thin silver sand (that I bought in a bag and dried in the oven before mixing it. It smelled in the oven, but got perfectly dry). I used it as a "milkshake" for strengthening and sealing my kickpanels. That works great too...! Now I maybe would add some small lead balls to it as well.
I made some milkshake last week for the first time and applied it to my kick pods, it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be! I used just fiber filler & resin and it worked out great for me The difference is night and day with the milkshake, I wish I had used it on my past project such as A-pillars & speaker pods! Great vid Peter, looks extra good with the pigment! 😀
The way you said...."I'm fed up with...." made me think I was gonna see 200 comments and 50 dislikes when I scrolled down from the video! LOL! On the other hand, I am SO excited because I'm gonna see this epic milk shake video when roll back up and finish watching! It's been almost 3 years can you believe it Peter from uh um um Peter from.....oh yessss.....PsSound! And to think I have 13 drywall screws in my back now. That's about the same number of drywall screws that you use to attach your A-pillar pods to deflated airbags. I'm KIDDING....calm down! I can feel you get angry at me though my keyboard! LOL! At least my screws, wait I will call them fasteners since that will sound more pro, will not rust and yours will! Mine are an exotic alloy of titanium, spruce pulp, and urinal cake. I know you remember that combo. It's what you told me your shake consists of. What did you call the name for the patent? Oh my yes! Patent #2-4-69, "Shake - N- Cake" Ok ok....enough joking. Got to get serious. Someone will get pissed off that I'm not taking this serious enough because what we make our shakes out of is way more important than this new TUMOR that my oncologist found in my spine! LOL! Good news is at least its in a section that they haven't cut me open yet! Yay. Geez.....look at the size of this post, and yes, that's what Brianna said! HAHA! I miss talking to you Peter. But at least you're building cars. Since it looks like mine will never get done, I'll get to live through your beautiful systems my brother!
Oh man, life always gives us challenges. Even if it doesn’t look like i have a difficult life, we’re having many challenges here too, but of course that’s not what this channel is for, but i can’t say a bad thing after reading your lines! 😳🥲 All we need in life is piece, health, love and caraudio! I hope you can find all of it soon too! 💪🤘🔊🔊
Knowing doesn't mean anyone can do the work. The expertise and experience counts for everything. People will still go to Peter for the highest quality builds.
Peter, I sow that sometimes you close mid-range pods, but sometimes you let it open. Are there any advantage in a open pod or it’s just more Simply Work?
It's more that some brands and models actually REQUIRE the pods to vented and the larger speakers of the line up, to be open directly to the outside environment. Hybrid Audio Technologies is one of these companies. Yes, you can use enclosures, ports, and even membranes, but that makes things rather complex and are only used when the more simpler routes can't be taken. Once again, this is when the experience of an installer is warranted. I've seen to many people purchase speakers for $1k plus to suddenly get "frugal" when it comes to asking for advice then speak bad about the company. All because the purchaser didn't want to at least pay for some install advice!
@@ealneas1 honestly he's discussed and disclosed the mixture(s) several times here on TH-cam, his personal/business Facebook page, and other groups as well. I just "searched" it while in the group I helped found and moderate, and located it in 3 of the first 7 returns. I promise I'm not being difficult or an ass, most know that's not who I am. I just don't like for it to appear that this man is hiding something or not trying to help the car audio community. He does this all the time, and for free, while taking time away from his company's and personal time. Then you have others that are employed, sit at the comp and use the net that their boss pays them to work at for him or her, and use that time to insult other's systems and equipment choices. Also preceding to then say how to "properly" install when they have not even turned a screwdriver once other that up to get the cheap vodka out! Whew! I didn't know I was so angry! lol!
@@justinmurphy2227 stop taking what are you taking. I knew about the mix long time ago. But not all people watched him from long ago. Chill out and have a 🍺
Good stuff here! Question though, I have started using regular car audio sound deadener on the inside of small sealed boxes like that. Would the milkshake bond to the foil on the deadener?
Milkshake is what they make cars out of in the RUST BELT. Its an alloy of Beer Cans, Dip, and and 90% Krusty's imitation Chewing tobacco. For those of you who Read Books, Vance Dickonson's Loudspeaker cookbook, has a formula in it to make TOP SECRET sound deadener for speakers with Sand and this Secret Mix. Amazing what you can get at the Library. I ordered my Copy WAY back from parts express. The school of thought then and now really has changed quite a bit. Personally? I never liked putting speakers where my feet were. I like Leg room and my dead pedal. For me? Seeing the article in Scholastic magazine really got me Hooked seeing these "Boom Cars". The STUFF that use to do back then. It was amazing! HORRIBLE. Horrifying. But amazing! LOL.
@@pssound9749 naw... i whacked at some stuff i made with a hammer - trying to destroy it - and failed miserably! I'll see what type i used and report back.

resin and mdf dust is my go to when needed...thin it out with acetone so it will flow really nice
Thank you, I knew of the process with sand but you explained it better then I was told 15 years ago
This video explains a thing in car audio that I wanted to know for a while. I find this really useful and informative.
Thanks for sharing these tips Peter. I've learned so much from this channel and still have so much more to go. Thank you!
Thanks Peter. You and your team are Great.
I like the idea of adding pigment. Smart!
Thanx for sharing, but I figured it out by watching older videos. Once you gave the details away
Those who have follow the channel, they could see it a few times for sure, but there had to be a separate short video for easy search 🔍
Thank you, I just googled this last night trying to figure it out.
Thanks for sharing Peter!
I'll see where I can use this in my build.

Don't ever give your secrets away. That is why you do such amazing builds. Let people figure it out on their own.

You can see 100s of videos about how to change brake pads and discs, but people really do it themselves?🤷🏻♂️
Just remember safety, some resins are toxic. Use prober proper protective gear if you use those ones.
What kind of filler do you use for midrange and high-frequency boxes?
Could i use this instead of using fiberglass mats?? Can i apply this straight onto the fleece?

You’d have to scuff it up, but ideally not.
