JL Audio Subwoofer Enclosure Buildup - Good Vibrations

Polyester laminating resin was used as a binder that was applied to the fiberglass mat.

After the laminating resin had time to cure, it was covered with Duraglas fiberglass filler.

Darrin used a sanding block and 30-grit sand paper to smooth out the cab corner panel surface.

Adhesive was sprayed onto the cab corner panel and the vinyl fabric.

A lot of elbow grease was used to stretch and work in the vinyl fabric onto the panel.

After the vinyl was applied to the new cab corner panel, it was installed. Notice how the vinyl wraps around the entire panel and sub enclosure shoulder.

To give the subwoofer enclosure some contrast and definition, black suede was applied to the subwoofer panel.

Darrin applied adhesive to the enclosure cover.

The OEM matching vinyl gives the subwoofer enclosure cover a rich smooth appearance. Polished aluminum strips were attached to each end of the cover making a clean transition to the cab corner shoulder. The center oval received a brushed aluminum ring that set off the black suede embossed with the Alpine logo.
