atleast $350 FGing isnt cheap to buy custom made. Its much easier and cheaper to do it yourself.

I think the only problem right now is that i dont have a router to make nice rings.... will a jigsaw work?

yes a jigsaw will work. You dont need a router - its just a nicety. I barely use my router for circles unless you will actually see them. Its a pain in the arse.

Okay.. im gonna try it. I've seen some people take the panel off and duct tape the floor then pour some resin to make a form... is this a better way than using the panel itself as a template to build off of?

Thanks

Just as another option I think Q-Logic makes kick panels, check crutchfield.

I have heard by several sources that they are no good... ??? I paid like $10 for fiberglass and stuff, so i'll just give it a try.

qforms are not worth the money. The plastic flexes a lot which effects the sound. Fiberglass is easy to repair should something happen.

yep yep. otherwise I would have angled them MUCH differently. They are pretty much teh same design as the qlogic qform kicks but built much stronger.
