P1000 GlockMeisters new tunes

[GlockMeister]

This was my first ever attempt at a fiberglass speaker enclosure. .it didn't come out quite like I had imagined it would but I've always been function over form. It does what it was intended for and sounds pretty good too.

Started off with some 3/4 plywood, cut out rings.

Add fleece and fiberglass resin..two coats

Cut out holes,sand down rough spots

Three coats of bedliner later...finished
Installed

That's awesome man. How did you attach?

@GlockMeister that is very cool! What do you think about the location of the speakers concerning sound quality and imaging? I would like to make one with all speakers positioned and aimed toward the driver!

I think that it would look and sound fine, my thought was to have some behind my head too kinda like surround sound. I've got 2 more to go in back for passengers but that'll be later on.

That looks awesome man. I've dabbled with fiberglass a little making bodywork for a bike but never anything like this. It looks great.

Fleece=3 bucks Walmart
Flexible antenna=5 bucks
Under dash radio mount =15.00
Resin=0
Plywood=0
Radio &speakers=0
Total investment 23.00

Did some night riding last night and noticed with my light bar on it interferes with FM radio. Nothing but static,light bar off FM back. Any clues?
I know the t-8 fluorescent lights I have in my shop do the same thing , curious to why ?

I do know from coon hunting, putting a led on a Garmin will fry it over the course of about 6 months. Now I'm not talking about a $2 led light, in talking about a actual light. I always carry a halogen flashlight just to look at the Garmin when I can't here my dog. Sorry, doesn't really help, but I have noticed weird things with higher powered lights.

May have to give that a try... thanks. Then I gotta figure out how to filter the 74 t-8 bulbs in my shop

So all you sue was fiberglass resin/hardner and felt?

Yes sir..it took 2 quarts of resin and about a yard of fleece.

Great, now what kind of music are you going to be putting through your system? That will have a lot to do with the way it sounds. HA!
