Default How to Build Your Own Fiberglass Sub Box - A DIY Walk-through

I've been meaning to write this for a while, and I finally got around to it. It seems like there is more and more interest in fiberglass, but there's a lot of confusion surrounding it.

Hopefully this walk-through will help you all out some. Sorry if any of it is unclear - I also have not proof read it, so cut me some slack

Post any questions...

What was the internal volume of the enclosure and the displacement of the subs?

After some measuring, I found 0.7 cubic feet between the spare tire and the rear of the car.
Reading owns you hehe.... That was the completed volume of the box

For the sub displacement, you can go to www.imagedynamicsusa.com and look in the tech section. They list specs as gross box volume, so the suggested enclosure size accounts for the sub displacement.

nice post. I am getting ready to fiberglass the hatch real soon, waiting for the weather to warm up (i really need a garage). Anyway, in my research i found another good post for step by step fiberglassing http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/111440.
Very helpful, as long as you can understand the slang... yo
Doesnt look too hard. Im getting more and more anxious to get the project started.

Here's mine, which may help.

Trunk install:

Kick panels:

On the trunk one, make sure you do the water test, or else you may have leaks.
