Fiberglass rear speaker enclosures
 
So I thought I would share the steps to help people figure out how these were built. I got the idea from a fellow members picture album. I will say I am not the original builder of these as seen in the album. I am however trying to replicate them with the limited 1 picture I do have of them.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Made the rings

just a quick note, a big time saver is to use box carpet, you can resin it, a little bondo to smooth it out and your done, if all your putting in is a 6.5 it's more then enough.
