New fiberglass subwoofer enclosure
The first subwoofer enclosure I ever made out of fiberglass was for myself. And I've had that box for 4 years!
Finally, I got around to making a new one.
Total cost for parts is about $90, excluding tools.
Speaking of tools, you will need at least a dremel and a rotary sander... sawzall and a heatgun will make thing a lot easier and quicker.
materials to make a fiberglass enclosure

Make sure you push out the bubbles in the mat as you paint it on.

Once you have the wheel well mold, the hard part is done

I cut in a little "toe" on my box to keep it from tipping when cornering hard.

Test fit OFTEN!!! I test fit after every cut, and every few layers.

Once you are satisfied with the mold, frame up the face. Test fit it before and after you glue it together to make sure it remains properly aimed.

Old t-shirts! they are free and work well.

Test fit it again

Safety first! Always wear protective gear while sanding and working with fiberglass.

Finished product!!
