I'm looking to get a little fiberglass work done, but the few car audio shops in my town don't mess with fiberglass.

Anyone know of a reputable shop in my Tri-State area?

This might better in another section, so feel free to move if necessary.

what exactly are you looking for?

[ascendotuum]

Trying to get a fiberglass sub enclosure made, one that will fit right into the back left corner of the trunk.

Its an 07 civic.

why not build it yourself? Its really not that hard.

[ascendotuum]

Because, I would rather pay someone to do it for me...

I realize fiber glassing isn't too difficult. I could probably handle it, but its just not something I want to get into.

[BeatsDownLow]

its not hard, just time consuming and the bondo and sanding part is really critical for a good looking finished product, if you go to a shop to get it done you are easily looking at $500 if not more to make a fiberglass enclosure

i charged $1000 minimum just due to time and labor.

[joeybutts]

Im in southern va. I'll build it for you.... for $1000.

seriously though...do you have any pics of your trunk? Where you want to put this thing...

[spl152db]

i'll drive there to build it actually. that was the shop that charged $1000, but i happened to be the one doing it so i said F going cheap i wanna get paid! people went for it.

[ascendotuum]

$1000 dollars? You must be crazy.

I understand you gotta charge labor... but ****. Let me see if I can find a picture.

Something almost exactly like this one, except for a 10" and carpeted.



I know Q-Logic makes something like this, but they look like crap...

$800 easy in a shop... find someone on here willing to build it for ya, or expect to pay atleast $800 for one like that... Hence why most of us would just rater do it ourselves, and not have to dish out $600 worth of labor fee's.

[Gummie]

The cost of paying someone to build an enclosure is the reason why I stick with DIY - in the majority of cases the enclosure costs you more than the actual drivers. Then again, if you have the cash, I can defiantly justify the decision to pay someone from a time perspective.

[ascendotuum]

Well thanks for the suggestions...

I guess I just didn't realize how expensive it was really going to be. I suppose if I found a shop and got a quote it would make me think twice.

Looks like just another project I get to start on! Yippeee! Will this install ever be done?

[joeybutts]

That's the best part!
