well...Ive got to say I'm ashamed of my trunk now. I went ahead and did it some time last year without any insturction whatsoever...i just knew i needed fiberglass and to make it work. I threw it a piece of plywood where the subs are so i could mount them, then i threw on some fiberglass insulation to get the rough shape and then i threw on some fiberglass...only did 2 layers cause at the time it seemed good enough..ah well. it actually sounds pretty decent in the car when i have a proper amp (i just have a sh*tty pyramid 250 watt right now, lol) but the amp in the picture is a pyramid gold series 75 Watt x 2ch and it sounded pretty good for the size....takes a crappy 400 watt cheap pyramid to come close....but i fried it cause i was drawing more bass than it could handle. I am going to be tearing out the entire setup that i put in the trunk and will be starting from scratch...I'll most likely end up using 4 10" subs and 2 amps. Now that i know how to do the job right, i am hoping for some good results. And Yea I'm new here and i have a website too...not so much about audio right now though as i am just starting...in a few weeks i'll be starting a project with my 6x9s, and some kicker panels or something would be nice too...gotta figgure out a few things first.

I looked your page and you stated that you are making a setup with two 10's and two 12's next time. Any silly reason why?

ahhh....I forgot to change that. I was going to do that at first, cause i thought it would make for a killer setup if i had the 12's set lower than the 10s, but then i read on this forum that it would mess with eachothers airspace and sound crappy, so i've decided to just use 4 10" subs....I'll change my site in a sec...thanks for pointing that out.
