Fiberglass. I built a 4.5 cubic foot ported fiberglass box for a single Kicker L7 15. Gonna hook it up friday to see how it sounds. It's really not as bad to do as some people think!

damn, that is very nice gravity, i only have 2 10" subs i wanna put in mine, is it hard to screw wood to fiberglass? i dont even know where i can get fiberglass, or what size i would need, i just want sumpin that isnt too heavy, and still looks and sounds good, but i dunno, i have to think of sumpin, thanks though

I took mine to Tweeter(formarly Bryn Mawr) and they made a mold and made the box out of fiberglass. it took a week for it to harden up rigt then i took the car back and they cut the wood to fit the trunk. i am nt real sure how the box and wood are held together. i think it cost me like 250 for the box.

i hace seen alot nicer. but i wasn't going all out just something to look nice and sound good plus have trunk room

Made a custom box for my girlfriends Camaro. She wanted 2 10"'s in it. I used MDF wood...like you get at Home depot to biuld the entire thing out of...it is heavier but it is also alot cheaper. I used the 1/2" instead of the 3/4". It sounds great...especially in the back of the Camaro where they can bounce of the hatch.
