I would like to make myself a fiberglass enclosure and amp rack. Wood boxes are simple, but I have never used fiberglass. I would appreciate any tutorials anyone can suggest to read over. I drive a hatchback, so would it be best to aim it up and towards the front of the car?

I have been lurking over there for a month or two now, the guys over there really seem to know there ish. I am getting ready to try my hand at fg'ing some a-pillar pods for my tg9's.

perform a search on how to build a FG enclosure. As far as aiming goes, what is your goal. On an SQ forum im assumiong you are lokking for the best SQ? Up and as forward as you can would most likely achieve the best SQ. Ideally you would want the sub direclty in the middle aimed up and forward about 30 degrees to minimize refelctions off of the back glass. Do you have any pics of the area you are working with?

The last 2 months of Car Audio mag had a 2-part write-up by S. Brown (Apline) on enclosure/amp rack; worth looking @.
