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?
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.
