Cant find what im looking for??

Im looking for the round peice the sub gets mounted to its maybe 3-4 inches thick you always see them on fiberglass box's, it has roughly a 30 angle on it?

I know you can mold them from fiberglass but do they sell them made from MDF board or the only was is to custom make it yourself out of fiberglass?

And if that is the only way how would you go about making that mold?


Thanks Alot,

I just make them myself out of 3/4in MDF. Just make a circle with a diameter so that the sub will fit down in it then make another circle with a diameter a few inches larger

I'm pretty sure you're talking about the MDF rings you install subs into. You might want to check out my fiberglass box build thread. It's filled with pictures and will show you how to do everything. link: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/car-...ld-thread.html

If you are talking about MDF rings clarify that and I can give you a few links that will be helpful.

I understand they are kinda a pain to make, but I have looked all over the internet for them before and have found nothing. If anyone else knows of a place that sells them I would like to know too.

You can buy them for ~ $40 a pop, which is why I decided to just make my own rather than spend $80 on two MDF rings I could make myself for less than $10. Jim85Iroc will make them last I heard as well companies like Elemental Designs. Send Jim a pm and/or call ED and I'm sure one of the two will be happy to accommodate you.

Exactly why I made my own Note that the $40/pop price is for a two-layer flush mount ring. I'm sure a normal ring would be cheaper but still well over $10.
