I think these are amazing looking boxes. That being said, I can’t imagine spending that much time on the part you will never see. I guess you know what it looks like back there and what you want is all that matters.
Two layers of blue painters tape, pva maybe, and start laying glass. Also, never take the panels out of the car, because the tension of the tape is going to change the shape of the part, plus you adding that expanding foam is going to expand the part out so now, part may not fit very well anymore. Just looking out for people that have never considered doing this before.
Sure, but that doesn't take away from the skills displayed in your tutorial! And the new founded appreciation into what goes on building one to perfection! Well done!
For starters the detail work of the fiberglass box is top notch. Hands down I learned a few new tricks. However on the inside of the box, you need air space for the sub to make the bass sound deeper. I was practically yelling at the video when you put the material inside. Also, are you trying to burn up all that awesome work? Just an opinion
Thank you. True, the driver side box is smaller than the subwoofer is spec for. The Polyester Fiber Stuffing slows down sound waves inside the box, making the subwoofer perform as if the box were bigger. Since the driver side box was small, we can meet the subwoofer volume spec by adding poly fill.
Don't you need air flow for good sound? Was wondering why you would fill it with stuffing? Would that make the speakers quieter with less quality sound? I don't know that much about this stuff just trying to learn. They look great. Thank you for your work.
Good question. The driver side box needed just a little more air volume to meet the subwoofer spec. The Polyester Fiber Stuffing slows down sound waves inside the box, making the subwoofer perform as if the box was bigger.

Finally a guy who knows how to do fiberglass the correct way! Fantastic job albeit very painstaking. There really isn't any quicker way than how you did it. Its uncanny that you did everything exactly the way I would have, its almost like we learned from the same shop!
Я тоже не понял зачем было изготавливать матрицы под корпуса стелсов, в то время когда они сразу закладываются из стекловолокна с эпоксидкой по месту ? 😅
Зачем? Мастер сделал матрицы что бы изготавливать их на заказ. При этом сделал сразу две стороны. Использовал гелькоут что бы пары эпоксидки не воняли на весь салон и изделие выглядело эстетично, а не как из жопы. Так как в его стране люди давно уже перестали покупать полуфабрикаты, и платят только за полностью законченный продукт. Вот человек и старается все сделать как говорится по уму. Основная цель данного видео не просмотры, а показать будущему клиенту отношение мастера к своей работе. Даже если я ошибаюсь и он не занимается изготовлением сабов на заказ, на видео мелькает второй мустанг, так что матрицы пригодятся для коробов на него.
Nice work… but aren’t you going to have two different tuning frequencies if the boxes are different sizes? They should have had the same internal volume
Great work, 1 question though, only because I do not understand the reason or logic, after you made the first mold and pulled the foam out, why did you do it all over again? wouldnt the first mold with the red, worked just fine? I really dont understand.
The molds are red and the final parts are black. What area did you see me make it twice? Are you referring to the fact that there are two molds (Passenger Side and Driver Side)?
@@mcgurrentertainment The original foam and sanding and bondo would be Mold 1... then you covered that in fiberglass sanded smooth... could have been the final product, in my opinion, or thought.. but then you took that and covered the inside with fiberglass.... to recreate the first foam mold....I by no means am trying to criticize... I dont understand the process. Essentially the empty RED molds are the exact same as the BLACK final result.
I see what you mean. The foam pieces (gray shapes) were the exact outside dimensions needed to fit perfectly inside the trunk; so I needed to mimic those shapes (plugs). To copy those gray plugs/shapes, I created a mold (red gelcoat). If I used the red molds as the final product (part), the outside dimensions would be off due to the fiberglass thickness. Adding fiberglass to the plug would have made for poor fitment and rough surface. Once the molds (red gelcoat) were completely, I could make multiple boxes (black) with the ideal dimensions to fit perfectly. Also, molds were made due to the orange Mustang needing subwoofers as well. If you wish to see a walk through tutorial, you might enjoy: th-cam.com/video/gufEQGpTdMg/w-d-xo.html
Not to tell you what to do but seems you might as well use 2k high build primer while you’re at it. Cut down steps, less over spray and cheaper on the long haul. Less pin holes. Can be sprayed at very low air pressure to cut down over spray to non existent. Or better yet with the MEK products spray Polly upoL Reface has no flash time on recoat. Stack it as high as you want and can be sanded smooth like butter.

Круто получилось! Но заморочка с формами наталкивает на мысли, что это под многоразовое использование. Очень много материала на форму потрачено, надо отбивать потраченное время и материалы!
They are currently press fitted. However, if there are any issues, a small piece of velcro will work. I had to do that method in the original (heavier) set.
I have a similar enclosure, albeit not one I fabbed since I scored it cheaper than the materials alone would have cost. It's in a bmw e60, so the corners are more rigid, but I attached a thin steel plate to the flattest area on the enclosure and added 2 large magnets to the trunk panel. Easy in, easy out and holds on for dear life. If you need a stronger hold, use opposing magnets as the pull weight combined is strong AF.
im sorry, yes you do have alot of skill but i think you wasted alot of time and material to get to the same end result. just my 2 cents based on the many similar enclosures ive built. just a word of advice subwoofers peak performance depends on the box volume. with that being said i wouldve used smaller woofers. Great video non the less. i hope i did not put you down. im hoping to see alot more builds from you.
A channel with quality work and no yapping in front of the camera, is hard to find these days.
Impressive work sir.
Nice video, it is nice to make it lighter.
Lovely work
Thank you very much
Good job, man.

I hope they don't do this...it's crazy
Great fiber work it's done neatly
Thank you
Well made boxes that's for sure. Nice to see the level of detail on a part that will never be seen

@@mcgurrentertainment gotcha... thank you for explaining... great work though....
Thank you. Free feel to ask any questions.
I just wish you would have made the face/front fiberglass, so it would be a full fiberglass box. Nice box though 👍
Just out of curiosity, why do you want it to be 100% fiberglass?
@ Why not? It would be lighter @ probably last longer. I’m a fiberglass guy. 🤷🏻♂️
Gotcha

If I can find a way to make them quicker, then I may.
@@mcgurrentertainment The community is huge, you would sell them for sure!
The trick is, can I make it worth the time. After material and hours of labor, the price may be too high.
Why the poly fill??

Correct. We have two Mustangs, so I wanted to make at least 2 sets of boxes. And maybe more later on.
Wondering how you attached the boxes to the car.
