Help me with fiberglassing a subbox
I have just scored a pair of Kicker S12L7's in trade for my NOS kit which is still in the box. A guy who works for kicker is trading with me. Well I am going to build a custom box in the hatch of my 86. Is there any sites or a walk through on how to lay fiberglass? The box will be formed to my trunk and the subs a little angled going towards the front. The subs are going to be powered by one Kicker amp model# KX1200.1. He said this is the best amp they make and is hooking me up with that also. Can someone help with making the fiberglass box? Any hlep would be great. This is what I know so far from reading a post of a custom fiberglass box. I would need to line the area I am going to form with some aluminum foil, then spray some WD40 on it so the mold doesn't stick. Then get some nylon stocking material and lay that on there and start molding. The first lay is going to be the hardest I know but after that it should be easy. Also how will I get the box to form closed is there any tricks on how to make a total enclosure? Like for the top where am I going to put the sub and mount them? I am sure if I get some info I could do it.
Thanks
If there is anyone in the area with some fiberglassing experience let me know maybe you could help. I'll buy lunch and dinner

You could try the forums at fbodyaudio.com for help. I'm in the process of making a fiberglass well box for sale. It should be ready in a couple/few weeks. If you're interested in saving time and headache.
