Here's a website I found for fiberglass. Working on doing my trunk up for my 2 10" and amp I have in there. Thought I would post it up for everyone!

I read the whole thing. Very interesting stuff. I think I'd like to try something similar. I have two 12s in my hatch and there's no room for anything else. I have to keep my golf clubs in the back seat.
Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link. Hey Noah, here a pic of the box I made for my single 12", just for an idea. I origionally had 2 12's in a MDF box but same as you had zero trunk space as I built the box to a previous cars specs & it also weighed a tonn. I went with just a single because I don't need as much bass as I used to want, I would rather go fast then sound loud . This link should work, if not let me know Ill post another. http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=57957&catid=member&imageuser=42517

Exactly! I'm getting old and no longer need my car to rattle like crazy. But I still appreciate a good bass note. Like you, my MDF box is way to heavy and I haven't been able to use my hatch cover since I put it in because it doesn't clear. I really like what you've done because it looks good and it's hidden.
Thanks for the idea. Did you use the same techniques that the link above outlines?

That looks good Daren! Nice work. I have a single box in the back and there still isn't a ton of room. I think my next box will be sculpted to fit on the Drivers side indent behind the wheel to the end of the car.
I've done some measurements and I think I can get enough internal volume to almost fit flush.
Great Website.

You could possibly put a matching sub on the other side with the indent, although I think it's a bit smaller on that side.

Thanks for the idea. Did you use the same techniques that the link above outlines? Ya I used the same basic method. Build a minimal frame with mdf, stretch felt cloth over the frame, soak the material with resin, then built up 4 or 5 layers of fiberglass, cover the whole thing in bondo and sand for what seems like forever to get it nice & smooth. I had thought about putting the sub on one of the sides like mentioned but descided I wanted the weight centered in the car. The box is light as a feather but the sub has some pretty good weight to it.
