Steps |
 |
| Step:1 | My first step was to build a simple rectangular frame as a base. After the base was measured and assembled I laid down some garbage bags in the trunk and began to staple sheets of fibreglass to the frame and then coat them with resin. |
 |
| Step:2 | Once the frame and base with the first layer were out of the trunk I decided to make an outline for the false floor. I did this by cutting and taping cardboard in the shape of the trunk. Once i had the desired shape i removed the cardboard from the trunk and transferred the shape onto a think sheet of mdf to later be cut. |
 |
| Step:3 | To construct the top of the enclosure i cut out two speaker rings from mdf and supported them with some mdf i cut. Once again i stapled and resined some fibreglass sheeting to the speaker rings. After the fibreglass is laid it is important to have it dry before you begin to work with it again. In the essence of time it was decided to laid the semi dry mold out on some wood and point a space heater at it to speed up the drying process |

| Step:4 | The next step is to create the smooth contour shape of the top portion. After fastening the top to the base I wrapped it in a material called stretch fleece. The material was pulled tight and stapled in place. More resin was applied to the fleece which hardens after time. Once hard it is important to apply bondo to even out the surface. Get ready for lots of sanding, no joke! |

| Step:5 | This is a picture of the system roughed in. As you can see from the picture I created a small open top box for the amp and cut the shapes out of the false floor so that the amp rack and speakers fit through. |
 |
| Step:6 | This is the final product. Once the speaker enclosure was finished sanding it was sent to the body shop for paint. The false floor was wrapped in black vinyl and attached with 3M glue. Also I had to make new seat backings from mdf and vinyl since you are no longer able to use your factory trunk carpet with this set up. |
