Ok guys, as you know I am redoing my trunk in fiberglass. So I am asking for any ideas, pictures, or anything else you can think of. Basically I am completly open to ideas, but there is a few things I want to keep.

The sub needs to fire up, thru the opening I have now.

I want to keep the trunk usable, and if possiable open up some more space.

I want to keep the spare tire.

I would like to keep a window into the sub box like I have now, maybe even make it say JL.

Other than that I am pretty open for ideas.

do you have a pic of your trunk now. i think i seen one before but i cant remember.

Sorry about the delay sinister, but if you check the install show off area, there are a few pictures there.

having the sub fire up would be a pita. are you going ported or sealed? its going to take alot of work to get it just right. i would take each of the amps and wrap them around your trunk and have the sub behind them like you do now. do you want to do everything in fiberglass? if not just make a wood box so it blows the sub through the hole and then make 3 fiberglass amp covers that join together so they are easy to put in there. i dont know if you would be able to get anymore room that way. its pretty hard to tell with out having it in front of you.

Yeah I plan on going sealed again. The W7 tend to sound better that way.

I have also came to the conclusion, I won't be able to gain much more space. I can't really move the trim peices back any, cause of the support bars for the trunk lid.

Right now my main goals are to lower the top of the sub box, so the seal to the cab is easer to build, and lighten up the whole install. Right now I have ground control coil overs on the back to support the added weight, and keep the factory stance. Honestly I would like to get it light enough to put the HFP springs back in, but I don't really see it happening.

I am thinking about reusing some of the trim peices I have now. I want to cut the extra wood out, (forming a frame) and then wrap them in glass to strengthen them back up. I should be able to drop a few pounds that way, and if I can come up with a design for the sub box, using a wood top, and frame, and then the rest in glass. I should be able to drop some more weight there.

i would bet you would be able to drop maybe 20 pounds or so. that one website i showed you has an expanding foam that you could use and shape it an resin over that. im gonna try it in my car and i think itll work out nicely.
