It will NOT dissolve polyurethane foam like expanding foam. It will eat polystyrene, like the blue, pink, or white foam insulation board you see.

If you want to dissolve polyurethane foam, use gasoline.

Alright thanks, I'm thinking of using the foam to get the shape of the kick, but didn't want it to start becoming goop once I applied resin.

Bracing has yielded to be more efficient in aiding with rigidity versus laminating sheets. There was a white paper on Adire's site many moons ago.

Definitely makes sense, verse having a large panel with no support in the center.

I was just curious if the orientation on having the edges overlap for cutouts was a big deal or not.

I usually aim to be able to laminate all the needed pieces and then attach them easily. For your example You either need very long screws to attach the baffle or drill long countersink holes if you laminate first.

Makes sense, I was going to make a page for cutout dimensions, and made it based off that picture I made, but I think I'll leave that part up to people to do what they want.

Next time, use green tape. It has a wax layer on top. Combined with the styrene (I assume you're using polyester resin), it should separate with no issue.

I usually go for packaging tape and never had problems with fiberglass sticking to it

Only issue is once you have completed it, you have to remove the foam.

I can get a piece of artpaper, roll it up into a circle, put in each speaker baffle, then it'll unroll and take up most of the space behind the baffles.

Then likely use a dremel to get any remaining parts protruding into the area where the motors will sit.

I also plan on opening up the back of the kicks, so air space shouldn't be an issue.

At least that's the plan.

So you just want a place to mount the drivers? You're not taking into account the airspring behind them?

Yes, airspring as in air space behind the driver and how it effects the frequency response?

The reason I'm looking to open up the back of each kick is to equal out the volume on either side, otherwise one might have 0.15 and the other 0.08

I may also try filling them with kitty litter, measure the volumes, if they are close enough, leave them, or possibly possibly try porting them into the dash.

At home I just want a fucking blizzard. For fucks sake its the middle of January this lack of snow is BULLSHIT

Dumping mad snow here at this very moment.

Went to the Detroit Auto Show yesterday morning. Was a very boring year as far as concepts and new models go.

For those who build boxes, would the above be stronger if the red colored panels were in between the green colored panels?

I would herringbone the corners.

Two part foam is superior to the crappy canned stuff. you can get different densities also. The stuff I used on my doors this last time is even sandable and paintable.

I mine as well order a few gallons of resin, mekp, and mat while I'm at it.

Maybe I should not have posted the Oz picture, but it was funny.

I always knew he had a big following, was in it to make money, etc, maybe a bit arrogant, but never saw any of his responses like that, what a fucking prick.

[Duran 387]

I've gotten responses like that from him. I happen to be banned from commenting on his YouTube.

Honestly that is who he thinks he is.

Back in 07 before I joined SSA a couple of guys I work with loved his videos. They were showing me these and then showing me his respones to their questions. Response not answer. He has been a bottle of snake oil since then. The guys at work came to their senses and moved on.

Reason I joined SSA and talk to Scott and Nick about their line.

Aaron, I hope you have a great day at work with the little man and don't take his lego's from him.
