How much mat/resin/hardener for a small set of kicks (small 4 inch and tweeter) I was thinking about picking up 2 quarts of resin. would that be enough?

Should be. Remember the strength is in the mat, not the resin so don't create pools of resin. Just go through and wet the mat.

I was going to ask this same question for a 1cu.ft. sealed subwoofer enclosure. I think I will need about a gallon but I'm not sure. Any ideas Andy?

 

[Andy Jones]

Depends on how much is going to be MDF and how much is going to be fiberglass. A gallon should do it.

I did a spare tire enclosure a few months ago that had 2 gallons in it. It was a little over 2 cubic feet.

Really also depends on if you are using a lot of fleece. Fleece will soak up more resin than mat will. So if you are using a lot of fleece to get a shape plan on using more resin.

Fleece eats resin, and I find mat takes more than cloth. 2 qts should be fine for a small to medium sized set of kicks. If it's your first time fiberglassing, be sure to mix small batches so you don't waste resin.
