Default Fiberglass enclosures...

Wsup guys/girls..
Damn I haven't been on here in a longggggggggg time. Anyway...anyone got any custom fiberglass work done in the trunk? Ive been messin with fiberglass for a little over a year now, reading sites, checking out tutorials etc. and I have learned a lot. It's pretty endless the things you can do with fiberglass.

Unfortunately I haven't done any fiberglassing... yet. The original subwoofer box is big, bulky, and takes up not only a lot of space, and it does it in an awkward spot. I can't really store much stuff in my trunk any more. I haven't seen any Honda fiberglassing projects, but from what I hear from others who have done fiberglassing, the sound quality is improved.

I am building a pair of enclosures for my 99 hatch. I have one of them roughly done right now (Have to do quite a bit more sanding then prep and paint) I will post pics probably later on in the week

ok i took some pics of what the box looks like now. Its my first fiberglass project so be gentle. I still have another box to build for the other side of the hatch. I wish that i could have done the box with more mdf, but it is still very strong.

I am building one that goes in the corner of my integra kinda like the one shown but also goes around the spare tire for a bit extra airspace. Im new to working with fiberglass so its not turning out as good as I hoped but I'm learning.

Here is one I did in a 5th gen hatch a few years ago

Here is one I did in a extended cab S10

I hate doing the work, but the end product does make it worthwhile.

I did a quick fiberglass box back in September Didnt turn out as well as i had hoped cause i had to rush to finish for a show. Anyways It will prolly be redone over the winter I originally had planned on making an enclosure behind each taillight but it wouldnt clear the Trunk arms coming down

Heres the pic
