red white and blue. hehe yeah i wouldnt worry about screwing the amp on the box, i dont know why they wouldnt steal it if it was bolted to the seat, it doesnt make a difference. i have a backseat idea you could try.
My idea is making you own backseat/subbox. Another thing you could do would be to cut holes into the backseat (im talking about the part you rest your back on or that folds down) anyways just thought i would share

card board tape and fiberglass. Use the cardboard to give the fiberglass a form to go over or even wood

48234, RE: fiberglass ideas Posted by ibangdchoeclipse, May-22-03 07:35 PM
so basically build a form out of cardboard, would it be easier to build a frame out of wood and make the "walls out of glass

in that link i just showed you it has a how to removal of the spare tire thingy. yeah its not as original of an enclosure, but the only thing else really to do is make you own custom design.

I am going another way with my fiberglassing the entire backseat to a box.
I am using a thin metal net...still hard enough to keep its shape once you bend it but still soft enough to be shaped as I want it.Then when you have fastened the net as you want and made the shape of the panel you want..then you put a layer of cloth over it to make a smooth surface to lay the fiberglass and resin on. Once its hardened you just keep on fiberglassing another layer til you fell its strong enough. I am personally right now making my streeostuff in teh backseat so,,,will let ya know how it turns out:-) I am building my 2 amps and 2x 12 subs(Audiobahn all the way) in the backseat and a custom shaped fiberglass panel ...Pics will come soon enough I promise:-)
