    dont mess around online; go to a local audio shop that has lots of business, ask them questions and ask to see their photo book of past jobs. if they have good-lookin work, then ask them to make you a custom fitted box, they will most likely ask you to bring in your car, and they will then take measurements of your trunk space. this will be the best for your money. it will prolly cost you around $150-$250 for a great looking box, custom made for your specific subwoofers (the right volume, and the right port dimensions, if necessary) plus you can get them to mount your amps in there as well.

    i am gettin a custom made box, both of my 12" solobarics will be facing up, and inward, and then my amps and crossover will be mounted in between them on a rack. i think it will look sharp once its all done...

          all that is, is a box with a piece of carpeted plywood over the front of the box & a jigsaw was used to follow the lines on the side. ill be doing that with my system soon.

          im redoing the whole system.

          3 way front stage, midbass, mid range & tweets. no rears. bass pass through from the 6x9 speaker holes in the rear.

              not any particular sites in mind...most you have to pay for if you want blueprints...its a heck of a lot easier to pay someone to do it, and if they mess up, you dont have to pay to get it fixed...

                i want a custom box myself but i dont know how much it'll cost me to have it custom made specifically for my car...so if anyone have done this before can you guys make a DIY thread about this?

                  if you have it custom-made, then it wont be a DIY...and the shop prolly wont like you hanging around taking pictures while they are trying to work. shop around and find a shop that has a portfolio of pics form previous installs that they have done. if they look like they do quality work, and you like them, then ask them for a price quote..shouldnt be more than $200-$250, even if you are going for a complicated amp rack/box like mine..

                    Everything you see was custom done by yours trulely. I've been doing custom systems for years now, so feel free to ask me any questions about car audio.
                    Ideas: I got a few.....check me out.

                        That stuff WAY to easy to do. and if you have not done it yourself before you are in luck if you want it like that.

                        Now fiberglassing looks better and is a lot harder than using the wood. If you were near me I could glas you a sub box and amp rack and "mold" them to your trunk.
                        "you can catch me swoopin 4G coupin switchin lanes" haha haha.

                          My current setup! A glassed enclosure mdf trim and custom floating amp rack!

                          Next I will be relocating my Yellow top to the left side of the trunk! It will be cool!
