How to build tweeter pods

Postby editiononeg60 on Sun Nov 11, 2007 11:29 am

Here goes

First you need to decide where to place your tweeters

Image

Then fix into place with a dab of fibreglass/resin

Image

Next lay over a sheet of fibreglass matting and paint with resin, leave to dry. i also use fibreglass tissue.

Image

Trim off excess fibreglass

Image Image

Cover with bodyfiller

Image Image

Next smooth down with 80 grit wet and dry to a rough shape

Image

Add some more filler, less this time, and smooth down with 240 grit wet and dry

Image

repeat last step but using 800 grit wet and dry, i did this twice the last time i smoothed usibg the paper WET

Image

Now apply a mist layer of primer, leave to flash, keep applying light layers until its completely covered

Image Image

your now ready to apply your colour of your choice
