Thanks for watching guys! Drop me a comment or question, thanks for slamming that like button into the MAGMA! :)
Do you think both pieces could be scanned and then 3D printed?
With 20+ years in Car Audio, and nearly as many away from it, it’s fun going back to revisit some of the old school techniques of custom builds.
Thank you for producing such great videos. 🤙🏼
Dam man your videos are best instructional car audio installation videos online. You not only have true talent for installation but teaching as well! Many many years ago I went to school for mobile electronic installation and I still learn mass from watching your videos keep up the AWESOME work!
Who can do something like this for a 98 civic
A tip for making a stronger and potentially longer lasting fiberglass part.
Don't wait until the base material resin (in this case your grill cloth) to fully cure before adding a second layer/fiberglass mat. Fresh resin on completely cured resin doesn't have nearly the same bonding strength as it does when combining them before the previous layer is fully cured. The previous layer should still be a bit tacky, but not dry to the touch.
I've also found that using fleece makes for a stronger part right off the hop and needs less reinforcement with additional materials. I also like the fact that the resin doesn't always seep all the way through and when you add a bit of resin to the inside of the part, and potentially more mat, this creates another mechanical and chemical bond further improving the strength.
2 points i would like to add yes tack layer first and do not let dry because good bass will cause cracks in dried layers because of not bonding correctly and fleece helps a a resonance dampener due to its thickness and maintaining a cushion of air with dense fiber inside that are still mobile
I wouldn't have thought of drilling those holes on the edge, awesome tip!
Lachlan Jordan that works on all types of plastic especially door panels but when I do it on something heavier I'll actually put chopped mat over the resin leaking through on the back side it'll secure it really good
I appreciate you answering my question! I love the new bit you added and I believe many others will enjoy it too! Great work!!
Once again you have shown clearly how to make a quality enclosure. I really enjoy these videos. Your idea of drilling holes is just brilliant...simple and effective. Also removing the dowels and strengthening with the resin/body filler...brilliant...congratulations
Man i have been hooked on your content. This is by far the best audio fabrication information out there. Keep it up brother!!
Really enjoying this series. I have done a number of a-pillar installs, because (in the right car with the right speakers) it really works for imaging and staging high in the car. I've used a number of techniques you use, but you always bring something I haven't seen before (e.g., the slurry of kitty hair filler and resin inside). Good stuff!
Thanx for videos, I'm working on my first 3 way set up and have been indecisive about the location of my 3.5". Ima get on it this weekend thank you again for showing us how simple it can be.
Although I'm by no means a pro, I've got some legit experience working at bodyshops thru my mid 20s and the most important thing I learned is every project requires 85% prep and 15% alterations... it's a good guideline to learn quickly
That's an interesting technique, mixing the resin and filler. I've used both many times before but never actually tried mixing the two into one batch.
Nice to see you doing some glass work. I've been patiently waiting, as I'm doing my sub box in the S197 stang.
An awesome job I wish I had these on my S10 pickup
Think you hurt Doug's feeling...LOL
Those pillars are looking dope.
I wish I could leave you my truck for a while you are the really good @ what you do!! Thanks for all your great videos & help your awesome brother!!! 😊
Awesome video , can wait to do my own pillar pods , thanks for making easy !
As always thanks for the tips we are currently redoing a party bus with some of the techniques from your videos getting ready to redo my car soon was gonna do some pods but will wait to see the rest of these
Nice technique drilling the holes for the resin. I did that on my doors and I added little pieces of fiberglass behind them too just to be safe.
You really know your stuff. Your videos are super informative and helpful. Thanks for the vids.
Thanks for watching!
Hey I’m subscribed 👌 good demonstration..
There are so so many fine details and facts about fiber glass building when it comes to auto interiors that we learn the most from our mistakes. I encourage any one watching this to take that chance and try something simple on their car because it’s very gratifying and when ppl see your car, their alllll going to want it, they just don’t want to pay lol but the real reward is the reaction on ppls face weather it’s your car their looking at or something you did for them. Thank you for showing your work I appreciate it and I hope it encourages others to excel in this area.
Cloth mat would be perfect here. Ive used it so many times on small things like these pod pillars and even kicks. The cloth is smooth already and soaks up the resin perfect. I would then add another layer while still tacky and remove air bubbles. After dried I would sand and mix up a "milkshake" of resin and filler. It thins out the bondo making application and sanding 90 percent easier. Also I use the chop mat in a mixture of liquid resin. I chop up the mat into bits and mix them together. I add the MEKP to it and use a popsicle stick to smear it on the inside of the pod or door pod or kick, strengthening from the inside thus cutting down on 6 hours of sanding to the outer surface which will have a pokey surface. Working from the inside to strengthen cuts down on hours of labor. Ive made complete kicks in a day.
Thanks Mark, these vids are helping me out alot. Now that I'm done here, off to C DB with his six month box build 🔊😝. ✌️out
Great vid as always Mark!
Great work yet again mark! I'm waiting for the aussie summer to cool down a bit so i start this on my car!
Keep up the good work!
I'm just glad I can work under the verandah.
Really cool videos came across you yesterday and really liked your work. Subbed and liked. Wanna complete a a pillar myself.
Love the channel I was wondering what you put down on the floor of my truck to make a fiberglass come up easy when making my subwoofer enclosure and not ruin the carpet and if you have a video that I miss so I can it done. Again can’t get enough of your channel.
Yes I waited for this episode !
Smash that like button! You know it helps!
Absolutely brilliant
This dude is a better artisan than Michelangelo!!!!! I would like to see more truck builds too
Thanks for the kind words.
This looks great!
When i build larger things like a box or doors i use thin fleece mdf staples and glue.
Fleece need more ressin but it gets realy strong from the start
Already got some pillars i made up using some similar fiberglass techniques for my hertz hsk's, just need to learn how to wrap them. Couldn't pull it off last time, so frustrating.
Good videos mark, can you do a review of the Dayton audio midrange speakers you always show but never talk about.
I always get a 2nd grade art teacher kinda vibe watching this channel
Love the vids! I watch them repeatedly in prep for my own builds. What is the name of the yellow sanding block you use and the stick on sand paper? I reall could have used that exact block on a custom sub box. Thanks Mark! You ROCK!
Just starting my 1st ever a pillar pods as per your videos. I have a new respect for your level of work haha. Getting that material on without wrinkles is quite frustrating.
Im curious why you dont use staples
Great video! Can you suggest other possible materials if not fiberglass? Fiberglass is a bit hard to find from where I live. Maybe completely using body filler?
when making new places for speakers, ie in doors, pillars etc, do you need to consider the volume inside the new area like you would with a subwoofer box?
i figure with tweeters and small coaxials it may not matter but what about larger speakers for your door?
Use spray flex seal on inside of pillar instead of mixing and spinning the pillar around.
Within the propmaking community, the filler/resin combo you're describing is commonly referred to as "rondo". Just thought you'd like to know! :)
Was just getting ready to type the very same thing, Marshall. Rondo has been a staple of propmaking for a few years now.
No mask or gloves. Your lungs will love you! Not to mention all that glass in your hands.
I used to work with that all the time building Yachts at Delta Marine.
Other than that great build so far looking forward to seeing the final.
+Dragon51 I voice-overed the majority of this video trust me I wear a respirator
CarAudioFabrication cool
you have some great vids man, really pro set up (minus those god awful alliteration you like to do haha). I especially love your pro tips like the holes drilled to secure the resin edged you got a new sub. ;D
Good video
when you apply the resin to the edges, how do you keep the resin from affecting the glue and causing the material to lift?
looking good dude
You forgot to say no homo
Coll how-to. Would it also work in fiberglass car body kits and everythings else similar to???
Watching series. Great work. Just a heads-up, this video isn't in the playlist 👍
Nice
just from a practical perspective this definitely takes some time. What would a shop or a person charge for something like this? Is it possible to buy a prefabbed version of an A pillar instead, do those even exist?
how do you prevent the fiberglass from sliding around when layering it? Also how do you prevent bubbles from forming in the fiberglass?
Milkshake.... Where ya at Peter? Haha some will get this...
Which poly resin do you recommend? I see quite a few options in the pro resin link you posted.
I like the q and a in the middle
Nice! Thanks for the feedback!
What are you going to wrap them with? I've been trying to figure out that special vinyl guys use to match the factory dash.
To match an exact factory vinyl you need to match it up with a Detroit book. If it is a common vinyl you can sometimes find it cheaper off a sample card. First you match the grain or pattern, then the color. I use Miami rubber as a supplier, they do sell online direct to anyone.
I was building up strength on mine by adding fiberglass layers, after applying 2 layers I didnt add too much hardener on the last 3rd layer and it didnt cure, its sticky and soft to the touch. Should I mix some resin with more hardener and add it on top, or cut the soft fiberglass out? And start over again.
I wish you had a place in San Antonio.
What do I do if I get bubbles after applying the fiberglass mat and resin?
as always excellent video but I have a question... most new cars have a pillar airbags, how do we add something like this without altering the proper function of the airbag?
I wondered same thing
Hi, those speakers are lo longer available, do you know of a similar that is?
Hi. thanks for your videos.I had question. I had vw golf mk6 I done sound deadening and instal new speakers. but my subwoofer 1400w active doesn't give a nice bass. what wuld be best subwoofer for mk6 golf. active or passive with second amplifier.? thanks
you can use alcohol to remove hot glue it comes right off
Where are you located I would love if you make some panels for me for some dead bonce apocalypse t25 neo tweeters on my 2014 camaro
Please the sound test for the Tline sub box
How would you add pillar speakers to a classic car that has chrome pillars?
Which pro resin did you use? The link has multiple items.
you added Fiberglas resin to short strand body filler to thin it down and allow it to creep inside the panel, what did you use to cure them as I believe the Fiberglas resin uses a liquid and the body filler uses a cream and the two activators are not interchangeable with the two products as far as i know.
How did you secure the fleece to the ring.. I don’t see staples..I used spray glue when I put the resin on it released the spray glue and the edges curled up I had to do it over
I need a video about doing a radio-less stereo in a hotrod. I have a 4 channel amp and a 1 channel amp. I want to play music off bluetooth
Adam M which 4 channel amp do you have? Do you have soldering skills or do you need something with connectors?
Kevin Livingston. As of now I have a Rockford 400/4... I can't look at it ATM to find the model number ...yes I can solder
Use any bluetooth receiver with a JL audio CL-RLC volume knob. Or the JL audio MBT-CRX
thank you Double!! i will
Another thing to check out would be MiniDSP, it offers an optional remote volume control, as well as tons of eq and crossover options built in.
Flannel works better than lycra grill cloth for blending shapes.
How long have you been doing car audio for?
Hey can I send you my pillars to get them done
I'm actually shocked that you're using poly resin and not epoxy resin. Poly resin shrinks like crazy during curing, stinks like mad, and isn't that much cheaper. I've been using US Composites epoxy resin for 15+ years and highly recommend you try it on your next fiber project.
I saw a video where they just put bondo or something right on the grill cloth. No resin or anything.
Make more videos and easily beat slowmanca...🎆🎇🎇🎆 gotem
You should glance on the topic of safety when using fibreglass,. some of us know how dangerous the dust is but others may not...
5:16 Looks like they should have used better adhesive on that label! X-D
Would not sound better if it was completely sealed enclosure?
Sir iwant fiber glass meterial
انا معجب بك و بعملك صديقي العزيز

Have you heard of rundowe
Would not 3d printing be faster and more accurate.
so what is so great about a "coincident" speaker??
Tweeter and Mid are perfectly aligned removing the need for time alignment between the speakers and phase will remain perfect. Also have the ability to connect to each speaker individually rather than being forced to tune both through one connection as most coaxials have a built in passive crossover.
у нас обычно чулок женский используют.видел у одного стелс корпус для сабвуфера использовал флисовое одеяло протипывал его смолой..вы чем обтягивали .брезент это да
The speakers you used on that project are incredibly expensive. Like nearly $1000/pair! Are there other small coincident coax’s out there in the world? I’m not finding them, which may explain the price, more about scarcity than quality perhaps? I don’t mind paying for quality, but you can’t convince me there’s that kind of value in a small mid and tweeter combination.
Whats wrong with some Dollar tree cups. Why dixie cups be cheap mark by the way i like your channel. 👍
you don't need to add both either would have worked
How would it sound if you were to seal up the speaker pod. ?? Sealed enclosure.
Nate H I have always wondered the same thing lol
Next time try simple alcohol to remove hot glue. It will easily unstick and come straight off
1:34
what kind of sandwich meat do you like? I'm more of a honey ham guy myself
Haha I think that was a honey ham, I always save them for resin mixing.
Nice! The uses for lunch meat tubs is almost endless.
I have no experience with resin
*hardner
I just use an old thin T-shirt,Instead of using the cloth
