MODS-I'm not sure if this goes in this catagory or not, but it does have significant fabrication time; anyway, here is my build.

My friend JK Sport has been wanting a pair of Q-forms for his JK to get his sound system back without taking up any space in the rear. We all know how important pace is in a JK, so we decided to make some custom Q-forms to use the dead space along the rear fender wells. I am teaching him the basics of fiberglass fabracation and he is picking it up very quickly. Before long he will be cranking out some very cool mods. Keep your eyes open for his stuff!

On the the build. This is a work in progress and is gonna be VERY time consuming, but here is were we are now.

Making the forms:

Drivers side-Jk Sport did this tape job. It turned out great, I actually like it better than mine..lol



Passenger side



Jk Sport trimming the sides of the form



Adding the rings and cup holder; gotta have a place for the beer...i mean coke..lol



The seat is as far back as it will go, so we will make a stop to prevent it from hitting the speaker



Overview-still in the VERY rough stage, just wait till you see how it's gonna come out!





Ok, back to work...got more projects to do and finsh. Later guys!

You are a machine! Love it all! I got a 2009 2 Door in Illinois that would love your attention! You ever been to Chicago?

rutdigger

Not yet..lol

I think we need to open up shop, between your fabrication, and my laboring abilities, we could churn out some real product to the SE Arizona scene.

Laboring hell...your a machine when it comes to knowing JK parts and accessories and you pick on fabrication fast...its funny you said that..lol...I was thinking something like that the other day; yes, yes we could.

More progress on Jk Sports Q-forms (custom speaker boxes)

We pulled the other side off out tonight. I will try and get another layer of fiberglass on it tomorrow morning after I go kill a few coyotes...

awesome work!! wish I could do something like this, I bearly started messing with fiberglass, but not ready for something this big. I need to nail down the right mix ratio, first time it hardened to fast, second time wasn't hardening.

I had never touched the stuff. Rutdigger and I were just toolin around one day and I said i thought it would be cool, and his response was lets do it. Just go for it, and have fun and learn from it.

rutdigger

I couldn't agree more with Jk-Sport, just go for it. Have fun, and make something cool. Now, a tip for your mixture; i have found that if you go to wally world and buy one of this 20 drop syringes you can stick that right into the neck of the hardner and have VERY precise drop measurements...follow the drop measurements (12 drops per ounce) and you won't have any problems at all. Oh, and only use about 4-6 ounces at a time..anymore and you will probably end up wasteing it.

Very nice, and you are off to a good start. I do this sort of fabrication for a living and it looks like you had that all planned out. I have already done an enclosure similar to this for a friend in his 4 door. It turned out nice, and sounded great. Keep up the good work; and as someone else mentioned...you're a machine..so many projects lately!
