Make sure you also wear a mask when working with the glass (cutting or laying up). You do not want any powder or glass fiber getting into your lungs or sinus'

You can buy 1/4 sheets of MDF at most lumber yards - make your own speaker ring, the fit will be much better that getting a generic ring (10" subs vary from 8.7" cut-outs to 9.5" cutouts).

I would recommend that you get your resin and glass from either west marine or HD/Lowes. Just make sure that it is not old (typically resin only has a shelf life of about 1 year max). This will work fine for doing a one-off enclosure since you are not concerned with how it kicks or releases. If you are doing production stuff using molds - then you would want to buy higher quality resins.

You will also not need any mold release if you are making a one-off enclosure.

 

can you clarify what a "one-off" enclosure is. thanks

 

Only building one. If you are mass producing you will need to make a mold, which requires a plug or reference part which you make the mold from. You would need mold release in order to get the parts to release from the mold.

If you are building one you will likely not need to make a mold.

 

cool thanks. mark that item off my list.
