Fiberglass Horror Stories

hahaha..the mustang was the worst. My very first project was pretty bad, lol.  i dont have progress pics, but just explaining it will make u cringe...OK it looks allright..cause its carpeted.  (keep in mind i had absolutely no idea what i was doing at the time) The sub "boxes" are rectangle pieces of wood with a hole cut in it...for the fiberglass part i took some insulation and shaped it a bit how i wanted it, then biberglassed small pieces of fleece and stuck it to the insulation...after which i pulled most of the insulation out.  After that i had a non sealed, 1 layer (fleece) fiberglass "box".  The flat piece is 5/16" plywood (about 3 pieces to make the whole floor) which i screwed down (at least i had sense not to screw where the gas tank is, lol)  The piece that the amp is on is held by 2 pieces of soft metal, screwed into the wood (3/4") and to the car body, with plexiglass aroung the edges (for lighting) the piece the amp is sitting on lifted up and my X-over was on the bottom with all the wiring.  The carpet is stapled to the wood and glued on the sub "boxes".

When i ripped all this junk out i had a couple garbage bags of mess.  I fried the amp by running it at 2 ohms with the gain all the way up (hey at the time i thought it was bass controll, lol)  The subs are in my current system and sound good.  Good news is that the fiberglass was half decent, and i could still get bass..but i was only using a 75W x 2ch amp...pyramid at that.  i thought it was good at the time...then i found this forum, thats when i ripped it out.

Thats my horror.  But my recent box(es) certainly came out nice...hope to get pics in a couple weeks.

EDIT: the trunk isnt obviously that wide...i couldnt adjust the pic to work out.
