At first I thought I would do an all plywood baffle... but it would have to be double layer so I could flush mount the sub and would be difficult to glass in and probably a little heavy.. Instead I decided to do a mounting ring and glass it in.





Cutting out rings with a jig saw is much faster than setting up a router and jasper jig..but there is something so sweet about perfect circles.









Set up with some wood glue and brad nails..



While waiting for that to dry and I ground out some of the really bad air bubbles in the mold and patched them over with a few layers of cloth.

Will see about glassing in the baffle tonight after my girl goes to bed... what do you guys think so far?
I think you should have made two (just kidding). Looks good so far. Hurry up and finish it so I can give you crap for not making me one.

You might get lucky! I did a similar one in my 350z and decided I wasn't happy with it, ended up selling it to someone following that build thread!

I do the same thing. I build something and if it doesn't turn out exactly as I imagined I scrap it and start over. It took me three times before I was happy with the cubby gauge pod I fabricated. If it doesn't work for you we can talk. If I get my car back from Specialty Z next week I'm hoping to to have close to 600 supercharged horses to listen to for a while.
