does anyone have any ideas of how to build a sub box around that damn hump the spare tire leaves in the trunk? I'm lookin at puttin in 2 10's, but all the pre-made boxes will have the box leaning on an angle because of the hump.

any suggestions welcome, except for fibreglass becuase i'm not rich...lol

it's not too difficult to make something like that i would say i am fairly new to fiberglass( this was my first big project) i would say if you do not wish to have it paint it the work part should not take more than 6 hours excluding drying time for the fiberglass this took about 1 month to make start to finish. you start by taping 2 layers of foil to the shape of the cavity, using masking tape (foil makes it easy to remove and protects well). the you buy some fiberglass mat with resin and apply 2 layers to a set point for the depth of the sub. allows to dry for about 6 hours then pull out mold from car. cut the edges to make it a nice even cut all around. use some wood scrap/sticks/rods and fiberglass those on both sides of box (woodside and fiberglass side) this will help hold up the wooden peice while you finish wrapping it. also it is advised that to squeege out excess resin from cloth for maximum hardness although i didn't bother with it.
