I personally have never even attempted fiberglassing anything. I have read up on it in the past. It appears to be something that takes practice and patience to get good at. Here's a link that gives a general idea of what you're getting yourself into. http://www.lindsay.k12.ca.us/emerson...How2Glass.html

I am currently in the middle of fiberglassing a new subbox for my bird. It's one of those dragged out things.... Hopefully I'll finish it up this summer. It does take practice. I suggest going to a local fiberglassing store to buy your resin and mat. They have much better quality stuff then the cr@p at Home Depot or Auto Zone. (Bondo or Evercoat) But buy your rubber gloves and brushes from Home Depot. They are probably cheaper there. Look in the yellow pages for a fiberglass store or maybe like a boat repair shop.

As far as the tweeter pods you are looking to do, will these do?

E-mail or PM me if you or anyone else is interested in a pair!

Fun stuff. Browse the www.termpro.com forum, they have a special section with a ton of good knowledgable guys. I suggest a search before asking questions, as most get asked on a daily basis.

I have a few pics of a project I started (and never finished, cause I sold the truck) here. http://www.indi-x.com/gallery/album17
