Default Enclosure ideas

I would like to do something clean with my trunk, I have two 12 in. subs and an amp to put back there, right now the box takes up alot of room, and I have my amp mounted where the spare tire should be with plexiglass over it, it looks ok, I guess, not very clean though. Does anybody have any ideas on what I could do? or any plans? or any sites with plans?
And i'd like to keep it decently cheap, like, just some plywood and maybe some upholstery or something...or maybe even fiberglass, I have some lyin around. just need some ideas or plans.

Thanks in advance.

I would go with a spare tire well fiberglass sub box, "raised floor", [depending on what volume subs need] but at least high enough to "flush" the amp, some "cut to fit" trim around the edges of box and amp reck, [for level floor] you could even still use the stock carpet as a "travel/security cover", [cover everything if you have to put anything into the trunk/hatch, or just hide the subs and amp. 94

how about something like this?



What im building right now is a hallow inverted triangle. That will hold a 1200w 2 ch amp and a 540w 4ch on the sides and a the center will house a battery, cap, and a xbox. Then a false floor to house 2 10" kappa subs.

^^ True, but if I can get something to look that good I may just do it that way. Not really sure right now, I wanna get some ideas, sketch them up or something and see what will be best for me. I would like to build the boxes ported to the manufacturers specs to get the best sound possible out of them....

I dont know if this will work for you, but I fit a 10" sub INSIDE my spare tire. not sure how a 12" would work though....

I used the inside of the tire itself as a mold, then MDF for the top. Raised the trunk floor ~ 2-4".
BUT: looks very clean, sounds great, and I still have my spare tire incase a get a flat. Also it is easily removable.

(Amps fit under the floor as well)
