Looks good! I was thinking of doing something like this too, but for now Im just going to drop a little box in the back. Thats a serious looking amp you got there. How many channels and how much power does it put out? I just ordered a five channel Alpine amp that hopefully fits under the front seats.

Very nice, man! So THAT'S why you were asking about the wiring colours, eh? hehe I'll be replacing my huge box in back with two of these to save space. One on each side of the trunk, so I'll still have quite a bit of room to put things. That is, unless JL Audio comes out with a newer, better model.

yeah thats the only one I have from back in the day.
It's an Infinity digital amp.2 channels 1000 watts bridged.
did you order a PDX amp?
if so it will most likely fit under the seat. might stick out
a little but no biggy.
I tried sticking mine everywhere. just was to big. 16" big
so on the back seat it went.
the only problem I'm having is pricing. I don't know yet what to
charge. or even what a business would charge for something
like this.
DIY would be very difficult. thats why i just posted what I
did. It's also hard to take pics with resin all over you.

yes in deed.

there is a couple different ways.
but the easiest is to fill it up with
something. then measure what you
filled it with.
for example packing popcorn
or water if you can.

Well, today I'm going to try making one of these myself (or at least get it started). I'll try to write up a DIY when I'm done, but no guarantees since I've never worked with fiberglass before and have no idea if this'll be successful or not. If it doesn't work, I'm planning on purchasing one from niko
Wish me luck!
Edit: using this for some inspiration as well.

Two layers of fiberglass done today, pictures taken the whole way along (they basically look the same as niko's) so I'll try to write up a DIY for first-time fiberglassers when I'm done. The hardest part so far was making the little lump where the bolt for the spare tire goes (I just made a roll of aluminum foil, basically.)
Niko, how many layers did you do total? How thick was your fiberglass when you were done? What thickness of MDF did you use? And how did you measure where to cut in the trunk?

you will probably need to get it around 1/4 inch thick.
MDF is 1/2 inch
in the trunk cut a small hole in the middle and work your way out.
