Default Custom enclosures

I’m redoing a system in my buddy’s car and I’m going to build a fiberglass box. He wants something ‘extreme’ and he doesn’t need his trunk at all as the car is soon to become a show car. I have an idea of what I’m going to build but I really want to see what people have done before. I’ve searched around on the net and looked in some magazines but I can’t find anything ‘crazy’ enough. If anyone has any pictures of crazy set ups or knows of a website(s) I can find pictures of please feel free to send them my way. Thanks guys

In this day & age, there ist much left thats "extreme" unless you are dropping 10grand for 8 monoblock amps driving four kicker solo-Xs with neon lights under everything and several hundred farads of capacitors on display. Just build something tasteful and dont make it too ricey

I would surf cardomain, that is the best archive of stereo equipment and setups.

those are real clean, but I haven’t ran across anything like what I’m going to try pulling out of my ass when it finished I’ll have to shoot some pics of it and show off

if you think of what the silver ooze bad guy from terminator as it car out of the screen at universal what he looks like cut off his head and put a sub there yea i know real crude description but that’s the best I can come up with right now.
it'll be my first time making something that far out so I’ll probably over due the strength or I’ll make it too thin and it'll look real nice but blow apart at high spl but you live you learn if anyone has any idea on how thick I need to lay the glass please let me know

Here's a few pics of mine. I designed these to allow a full size spare tire, luggage, as well as being removeable for days at the track. Plus I used 100% of the available airspace leaving room for lots of stuff in the trunk. Even with the subs aimed the way the do(not at the hatch, that bass slams off the windsheild. I don't have 1 rattle inside or out. I also don't put change in the center console or the ashtray.
