Build a 10" sub enclosure for the rear of the touring. Maybe I should have thought it through some more.

I want to lay the glass from the back, should I cut the back panel off the box? Lay fiberglass through the speaker opening? Take off the fiberglass as one and join it back to the box after?

Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Pics don't work and I can't make sense of what you've wrote.

Yeah, sorry, site they're hosted on is being dumb. The pics will detail exactly what I'm saying.

I created a box with five sides. Facing side open. I then made a speaker ring and hot glued it in place with some dowels. I then stretched some fleece over that and stapled to the box. Saturated the fleece with acrylic resin and now I have the shape that I want. I need to lay more fiberglass down but I'd rather not do it from the front facing side but the side that is now in the box.

Just wondering how I should go about doing that as the speaker hole is only 10" and it would mean having to work upside down basically.

Hopefully the pics return soon.

Or you can try imageshack.us

From what i'm picturing in my head, it sounds like it would be alot easiser to remove the back panel and do it from there. If you try and do it through the small 10" hole you may find it hard to get an even spread.

Either build it up on the outside, or detach the dowls and remove the back and build it up from there, you can always reattach them after.
