Strength of Fleece + Resin
I've build a FG sub box, but that's the extent of my experience with resin. I will need to do some custom work for my Dakota. What do you more experienced ladies and gentlemen think about the strength and durability of a fleece + resin speaker door pod?

Fleece + resin + milkshake will do you right.

Rad! I'm not exactly the most coordinated person and though I will try not to smash the door with my foot, it will inevitably be beat up a little.
Re: Strength of Fleece + Resin
at least poke a layer of chopped mat inside. Also, I hate sanding fleece.
Re: Strength of Fleece + Resin
Will do sir! Yeah, sanding's gonna be my least favorite part.

Fleece and resin are fine if the fiberglass is cosmetic, otherwise you need a couple layers of matt and resin over that for sure. That along with a layer of body filler will be adequate for up to a 6.5'' driver, otherwise a couple more layers of matt and resin and necessary.

Sweet, thanks for the input Glenn. :)
Re: Strength of Fleece + Resin
stronger than pantyhose and resin
Re: Strength of Fleece + Resin
No physical strength from resin.
Fiberglas is what strengthens the enclosure, literally the glass fibers crossing each other like an X
one going this way and the other one going that way.

I'd agree... fleece and resin will hold a shape, but once you go to screwing a driver into it that is playing constantly, slamming of doors, feet bumping and kicking them, you are going to wish you'd take the time to do some mat, I think. A couple layers is quick and easy and will give you LOADS more strength. Don't skimp on it and be pissed later.
