Well I started on my new box today, it will hold one 12, one amp, one screen and my xbox. I found a really neat trick for anyone who does fiberglassing...I did one coat of resin on the fleece that I stretched, then one coat of resin with matting, then another coat of resin with matting, uh, then more coat of resin with matting, and then when that got tacky, I mixed resin toegther with some body filler and it made the filler more liquid than solid, and spread that with a brush and it will harden up good. The main purpose to doing this was to help the box keep its structure when it is pulled out from the hatch. Usually, when you pull them out and leave them sit for awhile, they will loose shap and shrink. Anyway, this should be done this weekend, so primer pics will be up then. Just wanted to show off my new trick I guess

I see how body work in progress looks...not so good. I guess the sum of the parts does not equal the final product eh? But i cant wait till its done!

Nice box but i surely would not use the WHOLE back of my trunk for 1 12 an amp a monitor n an X box. I work with fiberglass and i would put at least 2 woofers. 4 6x9's and a monitor and then your X-Box. I could have drawn you a much better lay out like the one Im building for my car which would look hot espically with a 2 tone. Of course once you install something like this you usually mold it into your tunk being A.) Not removable, B.) Having to chop it out to remove it if you ever do, C.) Weight, D.) Painting inside your car isnt fun, E.) The air sace design for the woofer you are installing. Thats a lot of weight for not a lot of bump, unless your stuffing a serious woofer in there. What are you doing for your mids? If you built a deck and stacked them in the sides you could get a lot better sound and looks out of the box In any respect, good luck

thats funny im in the process of doing the same thing . i am almost done .

i also used to resin/bondo trick . i used half and half with a couple drops of mekp and proper amount of cream hardener . works great and its almost self leveling . thn i took a body file to it wile it was drying to get rid of all the low spots . i also did the first 2 layers of mat in the car then the last layer while it was out .

It just seems like an awful great big waste of space. You have an entire trunk to work with and all your putting in there is 1 12 a monitor and an x box and an amp.... I dont care how experienced you are with resins and body fillers, if it looks bland to me, I am gonna call it like I see it. I mean seriously, would it kill you to add maybe 1 or to more sets of 6x9's into that enclosure. Think about how much better it would sound, let alone look. Oh well, I guess I would have done more with this than what your doing thats all.

Looks interesting man. I would like to see more pictures as your project progresses. I've been wanting to get into fiberglass a little more than I have already, but I have too many irons in the fire as it. How big is the enclosure for the 12" sub? How much is this thing going to weigh when you are finished?
