WEll i paid $220 for mine about 18 months ago, when Blaupunkt still had the rrp set at $449. (i used to work for MLC Car Radios). Gotta love Johnny for dropping the prices for us!
I would try to make the speaker mounting ring as strong as possible, since the Velocities can move a fair bit and sound much better if VERY solid. Try to make it so that your door pods are solidly mounted to the metal of the door, either with concealed screws or some other method. AS for fibreglassing, i used grille cloth stretched over my framework, and apllied multiple coast of resin with fibres in extensively suspended sections... and then used regular bog to fill out shape and supply a bit of reinforcement. (also easier to smooth out)
TO make the shape you want:
cut out the "rings" that you mount the speakers to, annd use hot glue or something similar and small scrap piece of wood to make a frame on your door (depends if you are building into the door trim, or on top of the door trim), which has the position for the speaker to be placed set out.
Go buy some grille cloth from somewhere (Jaycar has it cheap), and stretch it over your frame work and staple or otherwise fix it into position. Grille cloth is good because it is light, cheap and stretches nicely. You will notice then that you have a nice basic shape ready to have resin applied.
Aplly your resin in several coats, so that it is nice and thick and covers any cloth or exposed material. Use Fibre strips where there are large sections without support, but it isnt required everywhere since you also have teh grille cloth.
Do some light sanding if you go overboard with fibreglass in any spots. Then like i said, use some regualar bog to fill in the grooves and smooth it out.
Hope this helps dudes!
