You going to fiberglass it?

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

not sure of the specs for those subs, but for 10's it seems a lil big.

as of right now im trying to stay away from glassing cause my first try didnt work so well....it was a smaller project so the bigger might be easier...anyway im planning on laying a sheet of wood over everything in the back so i also still have cargo space and a clean look....the mtx amp and the 2 subs will be showing

any ideas would be apreciated ;)

I thought the same thing, too until I re-read "ported box".
