How to: Fiberglass Truck Box Build DIY Steps

In this video, we show the steps we took to create a fiberglass subwoofer enclosure for a fiend’s truck while we were working together on a construction site in Oregon. We had never built a box in a Dodge truck before and we had some time, so we thought we’d take on this challenge. The owner of the truck did most of the work once we started the initial fiberglassing. He also did all the woodwork, after all, he is a carpenter by trade.

Thank you for the information, very well explained step by step what I was looking for because I want to do that project for my truck.

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

You broke it down perfect for me!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@ContractorsPOV]

Awesome, glad it helped!

[@dantheisen35]

Thank you for this you explained it so I can understand what you did I appreciate it

[@ContractorsPOV]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@olveramelinda]

I’m lost on how the fiberglass gets attached to the wood.

[@ContractorsPOV]

As you apply the resin to the fiberglass and wood it will become one piece. When the resin dries, it bonds with the wood and becomes a permanent bond. Does that help?

[@olveramelinda]

@@ContractorsPOV Yes Thanks

[@cedricwilson2899]

Next time turn volume up

[@cedricwilson2899]

Great job though thanks

[@DIYAudioGuy]

What is the mounting depth of those subs?

[@ContractorsPOV]

4.75"

[@kcflyguyent]

I so needed this video!!!! How much fiberglass/resin/hardener would recommend be purchased? How many layers?

[@ContractorsPOV]

We need up doing 4 layers , it doesn't hurt to go thicker. As far as the resin goes, I believe that we used 2 cans on each side of what I have linked. If you want to go with a gallon, it might be easier. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@michaelflowers6048]

Can't hear anything

[@DIYAudioGuy]

How much resin did you end up using on this build?

[@ContractorsPOV]

About 4 cans of the item listed in the description.

[@DIYAudioGuy]

So that's a 28.8 oz container. Not sure why Bondo doesn't give you a whole quart. I guess that means I need a gallon of resin.

[@scottphillips517]

Why is the audio so low on this video?

[@ContractorsPOV]

I didn't have a mic at the time. Definitely wish I could do it over.

[@infamousdtownm9385]

What size fiberglass did you use

[@ContractorsPOV]

I'm not exactly sure what size you are looking for but the exact fiberglass we used is linked in the description. If the links do not work, please let me know.

[@victorarroyo8809]

Any chance the measurements are available? I want to make one for the same truck

[@ContractorsPOV]

Which measurements would you be needing?

[@victorarroyo8809]

the wood sections if possible

[@ContractorsPOV]

@@victorarroyo8809 that's what I thought, unfortunately, I didn't write them down and I no longer have the truck.

[@victorarroyo8809]

That’s fine, thank you!

[@drchris311]

What was the total cost of doing this project

[@ContractorsPOV]

With the subs, amps and fiberglass?

[@drchris311]

@@ContractorsPOV just in making the box

[@ContractorsPOV]

@@drchris311 I didn't pay attention to the cost at the time. Probably could have found something cheaper online. Materials: -1 sheet 3/4" MDF -2 resin kits -fiberglass fabric -Wood glue -4 to 6 can spray on bed liner -Misc. hardware

[@patanas100]

How many fiberglass clothes I need to buy?

[@ContractorsPOV]

If you are doing the same vehicle, I would buy at least 20 packs, and take back what you don't use, better to have more than not enough.

[@patanas100]

Thank you so much you’re the best👍

[@dogtaggers2312]

Can’t even hear the commentary

[@raytonwhite4187]

By far the worst fiberglass job I have ever seen in my whole entire life, and I am sorry to tell you this, but it’s the truth. Bro, you did not need the plastic. All you had to do is spray some mold, epoxy cast remover over the tape, so that the fiberglass would come off the tape easily.

[@ContractorsPOV]

That's good to know. We did this quite a while ago and it was our very first one. We didn't know that mold epoxy cast remover even existed. Plus, as you can tell, it was done on the cheap anyway. It was more for the video experience that anything. If I ever do another one, I will know better, I appreciate the feedback.

[@raytonwhite4187]

@@ContractorsPOV I forgot to put, the end result was superb. You did a great job. It came out looking beautiful.
