With the rings mounted I used some "Great Stuff" insulating foam (thank you Mike52 for that tip) to fill the bottom a bit, formed it smooth and finished it off with resin and bondo. One thing I learned, unlike the green floral foam, Great Stuff seems to absorb resin and shrinks about 30% unless it is sealed first with bondo. My first pod took a little more fill work because of that, but it worked OK. Also, the tape "form" proved to not be necessary if you lay the panel flat, and the foam dries much faster without that film covering it!! Once formed it was a matter of sanding for the desired conture, and getting them ready for foam and material. I mounted one speaker to see how they look, and I think that I can live with the look.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
