Fiberglass speaker construction
I have a lot of speakers to install in my car. Unfortunately the engine's
not that strong and building MDF speaker cabinets for all of them would probably weigh at least 300 pounds or more. I'm going for 10 6x9's, 2 10'' subs and 2 15'' subs. I need to find a suitable material for box construction besides MDF, and fiberglass appealed to me. I bought 200 lbs of fiberglass mat, and that should be more than enough. My question is how well will fiberglass cabinets sound? I'm planning on making a minimal frame out of wood, as well as the mounting hole from MDF, covering all of this with canvas, applying hardener, and then applying the fiberglass mat and finishing with a light coat of bondo. Is there something light that I can fill the frame with that will help out with dampening or expect better response? Also, how would I go about figuring out what box volume to shoot for? thanks a million Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
