Materal for your ice

[alex19]

what is the best materal for my ice. People always start with wood but when it's finished it looks like plastic. and where do I get the materal from?

[Scott]

wood looking like plastic sounds odd.

Why not do a build with fibre glass? fibreglass from halfords or any motor factor

[alex19]

how would it mold. How long to dry.would it be easy to do and how much would it cost. would mold to wood and the shape. could it mess up the rest of the intierer. smileys/smiley5.gif

well as it was my first go over , i used mdf to build a frame , i made a coffin to sink the amp's and run the wire's ect , i then used sheet's of ply to shape it .
i then placed material over the sheet's of ply to finish it off .

scott i was wondering about the pro's n con's of equaliser's , as im running quite a few channel's smileys/smiley5.gif i was wondering would it be nessecary to use one ? any recomendation's ?

thank fellas but what materal did you use dannsax and how did it look in the end(any pictures). By the way what is ply (do you mean ply wood but how do you get sheets of it, it's wood!)

[Scott]

Alex19: go to b&Q or focus do it all and you can get sheets of plywood mdf, hdf etc...

Dannsax: you could go for a seperate equalizer but hell of a lot of setting up to do on them but worthwhile in the long term i suppose. You should have EQ settings to play about on the head unit and amp itself. Have a play with them and see how you like the sound
