i have done a frame out of speaker grill mesh but grill mesh like he wants to do is gonna be really hard without some fleece spray glued to it. Just mesh and resin is going to be a hard job to do since you need the resin on first then the mesh. for all that he might as well take the chicken wire or whatever it is he is using and spray glue on the mesh. Put resin on the top side of the mesh. after that hardens flip it over and do resin on the bottom so that the resin goes thru the holes and becomes the "new glue" so that it a: keeps the mat from falling off and b: helps it keep it shape. Then he could do subsequent layers of mat for strength on the rear side as well.

As far as speaker selection goes, It looks like you want some pretty heavy duty sound. Why dont you just do one sub like a 12 w7 or a 10 L7 something thats going to be in the middle of your range which seems to be 1000 to 1200 rms. (you upped it when you decided to do 10" comp vx's) and then that way you wont have to have as large a compartment for the sub as you would if you had 2 subs. Both of those I mentioned are about 750 RMS each. You could make the back of the box start behind where your cupholders are going to be. Do a wall thats like .75 inch thick and then the one for the back of the box thats 1 inch so your drinks dont shake. By doing only one sub your box does not have to extend out as far and then could still be narrow and not flare into the rear seat feet area. Plus if you do one sub you can put in like rear cup holders for rear passengers so it will give it a more stock feel appeal to it. Also you have to look at where you are are gonna put amps in your truck. if you do 1200 watts (RMS- I only talk RMS) worth of sub you need to have a 4 channel to put out at least 80 to 100 watts which means it could be pretty bulky in size as well. all these things must be thought of in design of a hot system. Not sure if that crossed your mind but a few more things for you to think about. And finally, the reason he said to glass over the hump is because wood/mdf doesnt naturally bend, so it wouldnt contour to the shape of the car thus it wont appear stock.
