Kick Pannel Speaker Pods

Pros:

• Better soundstage.
• Speakers are facing you, which makes the music more clear. Automobile manufacturers seem to think that us humans have ears in our legs...
• Controllable air space for your driver.

Cons:

• Loss of floor space.
• Complex construction.

Cost:

• This project will take about 30 to 40 hours to construct a pair of pods and will cost about $100 in materials.

Materials:

• Fiberglass resin and hardener
• Fiberglass matte
• Mixing container (Warning: cheap plastic cups do work, but when the resin starts to cure, it will eat right through the cup.)
• 1/2" MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
• 2" masking tape
• Rubber gloves (You can get a box at your local drug store.)
• Bondo and hardener
• 60-400 grit sandpaper
• Any material that is 100% nylon and stretchy (I used spandex on this project. It's easy to use, but did sag a little when I applied the resin.)
• Spray adhesive

Tools:

• Disposable paint brushes
• Tin Snips
• Leather gloves (good for when you are cutting the excess fiberglass off of the mold.)
• Jig saw or sawsall
