I don't know if it has been done or not but i was hoping to get 2 ten inch sub boxes molded to the rear wheel well in the hatch area. I want it so that the subs will be facing 45* towards the center of the car. Anyone know where i could get this done. Thanks.

Well i gotta lot of help from the people of stangnet, and they said about $1000 for someone to do it, due to the time and molding you have to do. There were some people that said they could do it cheaper, but i say about $600 at the cheapest.

I say do it yourself. Ever worked with Fiberglass? It's not as hard as it seems, just have to take you time and sand a lot.

Fiberglassing is easy, not as cheap as mdf boxes, but it looks way cooler. This is my setup...



I did a whole write up on it a few months ago on stangnet, if you search for my name and the word fiberglass you will probably find it.

This is a great website, follow the insturctions on here and you will be golden.

Good luck man and let us know how it turns out, if you need any help, just ask...

That looks awesome man, I didnt have that much room to work with though, the trunks in the verts are a LOT smaller.

thanks bud, it didnt need to be that size, its not all open inside, the part around the subs is the box, the rest is just to fill up the floor of the trunk.. i wanted the entire trunk to look good, and with the 4.30s weight over the back tires is a good thing lol... its as long as the trunk, and as wide as the trunk minus about a foot on the pass side.. just incase i need to put a bottle of something in there next summer

-Ryan

PS: to anyone who wants to make one, its way easier than i expected... the first couple boxes you make just take extra bondo/sanding

and to mold it is simple, you just make a skeleton of the shape you want out of MDF (the entire base is MDF also).. then stretch cloth (i used 4 or so T shirts) over the skeleton, staple or glue it.. then fiberglass, once it hardens, repeat the process... untill its good and sturdy.. then bondo and sand as needed.. paint.. and thats it

Well what i was looking for was 2 seperate boxes that mold into the side moldings of the back hatch, i still want to be able to get to the spare easily, and have the ability to use most of the cargo space.

definately second the notion to learn fiberglass yourself...

once you do a box you can do stuff like speaker pods and gauge panels, whatever you imagine really.
