Default sub enclosure?

OK guys I'm sure someone in around here has built a sub box and put it in the side of the trunk. How did you do this. I was told by a local shop the only way to do it was to custom mold a fiberglass box to corner. I dont think this is the case plus I do not have the know how to do it, or the money to pay a custom shop. So I need some help, on this please!!!!!
aNy diagrams would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah on more thing, can some one show me a wiring diagram for a two amp system, one with a small amp for the front speakers and large one for the subs.

Check these guys out. I built some speakers years ago and found that their products work well.

WLaurent sells a fiberglass sub enclosure for the sides of the trunk. The fit is perfect, and William is a great guy to do business with. His enclosures run $175 and can be ordered here: http://www.darksidesubs.com/

Dude I think you saw mine at the Asheboro run earlier this year... Yeah I built that for a school project and so I had to document everything I did. I have plenty of pictures, specs, and steps on making the sub enclosure. I only have a couple of pictures here with me now but when I go home to MB after my exams this week I will have all of the pictures I took for school. I can e-mail them too you if you would like. Just let me know.

S2kmaniac, ive built several different boxes for several different cars with some different setups. If one can be built without using fiberglass I can build one for you all day long (cost of materials), otherwise I have no experience fiberglass.

Thanks guys i have the know how to build one outa wood. S2000shifter I liked your set up but I was going after something really big and loud. Ihave 2 10' MA Audio competition subs 1000watts a piece and was going to put them on the each side of the trunk. I also have some componets I put up front witha sony xplode amp. 400watts


It looks as if I will have to figure out how to do it out of wood and use a crafty design to get around the unsual space and the trunk hinges.


Dolemike maybe we can make this a weekend project or something, let me know how things are working out for you, and by the way did you get your CAI installed yet?

Sounds cool, do you know the cu.ft. the subs take and all that? But Im game, I havent built a box in awhile and wouldnt mind busting out the saws and drills. As for the CAI, Im sending that junk back man, its missing the tube connectors that are near the throttle body and Im not going to endure a headache on trying to figure out how to make it work. So when I get the money back on the return Ill probably get a AEM, something I know that is complete. Speaking of that matter, what do you have going on Saturday... if your available Ill order an exhaust gasket so I can get my car inspected if your still up to help.
