Yup - so the next project is to learn to fiberglass :D. I figure this is something I can do in the garage while I wait for the snow to melt :). I've played around w/ resin and glass mats/strips a little, but am no where near confident enough to glass something for my car.

Ultimatley, I'd like to be able to create a custom sub enclosure and amp rack (might do that out of mdf though) to save space in my trunk and also achieve a good amount of SQ. :) Also, being able to glass gauge pods, trim and other things would be nice too.

So, I'm looking for first hand tips and experiences, videos, reading, links, any and all info on the topic that I can absorb! Also, a how-to or step-by-step of creating custom enclosures would be nice too. :)

Thanks!

I do my own. I could give you pointers but honestly I just kinda taught my self trial and error way. Sounds kinda dumb but I do that all the time.
