THis is for a 2003 Hyundai tiburon. So basicall i taped up my entire trunk. However instead of using the factory panels as a backing i did my own. Now what i'm wondering is if i should have used the stock paneling. This is all for the backing of the enclosure which will be three peices so i can take it out if need be.

This is the first time i've used fiberglass so really if i did it the wrong way its a learning experience. I know how much hardener and proportions and most other things. So if it ends up not working, i guess ill just use the stock paneling right? Any help will be gretly appreciated. Oh and to drscribe what im doing im mounting a 1000/1 on the drivers side, a 300/4 on the passengers side, and a 13w7 in the spare tire well. I'm hoping to have a few pics up whenever my neighbor sends me them. Thanks for all the help

Pictures would be nice, really we dont know what the panels you made looks like or what the stocks look like unless we have had experience with that specific car (which i haven't).

looks like if that is going to be in three seperate pieces (i'm assuming left/middle/right) it should be just fine! Keep the pics coming too

basically heres what happened. i guess i left the sides on for too long and when i was peeling away the tape and foil it started to crack. The middle came out fine so its not a complete loss. So im just going to redo the sides using the stock panels. If anything it was a learning experience.
