looks very similar to what I plan on doing...

impressive since you did it yourself.

very nice, wait till you see mine

my thoughts exactly.

Why did you smash your old box?

DIY with Fiberglass? That's HOT!That W7 is going to rock your fucking socks off! You should have added a piece where the Fiberglass curves back up and covers the trunk. Then your seat mounted amps could be proped up like your mono amp. Ricier, but goes nice with your trunk . Hope you dynamatted! Everything is gonna rattle, especially your nuts. When you get it running, let me know how it sounds. Great job, Paul!

yupp...kudos!

hey Paul, when I get down to see you we need to talk about my setup - I need some opinions...

how did you mold the Fiberglass for the box? well... how exactly did you make it, i'm interested in making something like that myself.

that bitch had to much glass in it and it was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to heavy. . . i mean wayyyy


def


started witha base mold of my wheel well. from there you from placement for your rings. Hotglue it in the air on wooden dal's. Then cover it in fleece, attach with staples. and start glassing. . .

what you guys cant see, is that inside of the box there is a false wall of 3/4 MDF that sections off the sub arear and the other misc amp mounting area. I just glassed it closed frmo the inside . the bottom is made outta 3/4 MDF also, but my orginal mold was straight glass on the bottom, i windined up cutting the bottom out to work inside and then closing it with MDF.

o.. ya. . and then hours and hours of sanding

Much cleaner look than before. I'm sure your gonna catch some serious weight savings with this new set-up. Good job man!

looks good but isn't it wasting space? being right in the middle makes it hard to put much back there

i don't need my trunk. .. loook at my last setup. i have ZERO space. . . . now i have some. .. and if i put somthing in there, the sub is still safe when it flex's. . . the link is up top to my old setup
