Just for the reccord...
You guys know I was using a 10" bazooka with 400watts RMS from my old Pioneer Class D amp When I put the PowerBass amp class A/B pushing 250watts RMS to the bazooka, the improvement was like day and night! so even with less power new technology and by using a class A/B amp, it's way much better. and I'm happy! D.

So we all know that resin aka MEK would melt the foam, so I added a layer of 5 minute epoxy to the foam spheres...

nice one, that should eliminate alot of diffractions.... also a little tip if your going to have your tweeters up high - a dash mat , i know alot of people dont like the look of them , but for such a simple addition the benefits a great , just eliminates a major source of reflections ;), pitty we cant carpet the windshield also ....

After all these festivities and family, I got a little chance to work on my hobby.
After the layer of 5 minute epoxy I did 2 layers of Resin, if it's stiff enough I'll take out the foam and reinforce the inside with fiberglass. D.

Got the foam out the spheres (with Acetone)
The shell it's not very strong so I cut small strips of fiber glass and paste them inside the sphere with some spray glue, then added resin+MEK to reinforce the structure of the spheres. I'm sorry my camera ran out of batteries so I used a point and shoot, I'll post the pictures soon... D.

The spheres without foam!
Spheres with some Fiber Glass (I added more fiberglass as I was pouring the resin. Looks ugly now, but the spheres should be very solid by tomorrow! Next step is the add a wood baffle for the tweeter and match the spheres. D.

Sanded down the opening in one of the spheres to match the diameter of the Tweeter, glue in place a balsa wood baffle, hardened with CA+ accelerator (this process reminds me my other hobby, r/c model airplanes) and made a hole for tweeter.
Now lets do the other sphere... (soon) Sorry for crappy pictures, I'm still using the point & shoot camera, and the dust over the tweeter, )o: D.
