Here are some pictures of my first project. I made it out of fiberglass because there would have been alot of trick cuts. Also I liked the looks of a fiberglass finish. My car is a 89' Firebird

The begining:

The taping:

The begining of the first layer:

*Note no resperator soon bought one after this layer being outside with big fan wasn't enough air circulation*

The flimsy mold complete:

Fastforward a few layers....

The begining of fleece stage:

*Note MDF center piece to divide the two subs and added extra support*

Test fitted my box turned out to be to high and hit the hatch

So I cut it down some:

Test fit again worked out. So streached on fleece and here it is after a layer of fiberglass:

Thanks for looking. Project is finished just need a picture will work on it tomarrow. Feel free to leave your two cents, for I am broke after this one =p

That's a really good use of the space back there. Gave me an idea for my next install.
