installation dvd's

anyone have any videos, know where to get some or have even those that select products offers?

trying to find some good quality videos that might help in showing a complex fiberglass and plexi issue i'm having. plus i like to watch them so i'd like to know if there are any good ones out there.

at $250 for the set i'd like to know if the SP dvds are any good as well as they sure aren't cheap.

wow! $250...

wouldn't it be cheaper to do trial-and-error... and even fail a few dozen times?

ah okay, I was under the impression that fiberglass and resin were fairly cheap materials.

I never knew how it was done until I watched a guy build a box -- very simple once you've seen it. He first built a box without a front face, then he cut & routed little mounting rings which were just big enough to screw the sub into. Then he used ther box walls & some bracing to join the ring to the box face in the approximate shape he wanted. After this, he simply laid down layer after layer of fiberglass. After it cured, he sanded it down & painted it...BEAUTIFUL!

it can be like anything. however when you have $400 or so in just material for one section you only want to do it once. but there are plenty of facts that describe typical fiberglass installs. i'm looking for videos that are in depth on more difficult techniques. anyone?

If you find that link, could you post it here as well. Would make it E-Zer to search for down the road.
