For anyone wanting to try - DO IT! It's not as hard as most think and really worth it. The experience and knowledge plus u save some serious $ from paying someplace to do it.
Now sintaxeror BACK TO WORK!!!! heh

Man, awesome thread syntaxerror. I was planning on making a similar pod the same way.... using more MDF than fiber since I've never glassed anything. Now I can't wait to get my car out of winter storage and go at it!
Did you make your box curve way up into the strut tower just so you could fit a 10" in there? I'm probably going with a SoundSplinter 8", but if a 10 fits nicely I might have to give that some though too.

What you see so far is all that has been done to this point.. I am confident the 10" will fit nicely.
And everyone please just call me Jay -- I feel like a tool with everyone using my online alias

Jay, can you tell me what parts you needed to change the stock bose sub cover to the glove box? I've tried searching with no success. Also, did you add the interior of the glove box as well or is it just the door. Thanks for any help.

All you need is the door and the little spring/string thing, the cubby, and the cubby support as far as I know. I can't tell you 100% because I didn't install the rest of that stuff, but I am pretty sure thats all you need.
I don't have part numbers unfortunately, I bought everything off of another forum member who was parting out.. but if you are interested in this I can sell you all the cubby parts that I didn't use, then all you would need is the door.

Keep up the good work though!

UPDATE 3/10/08 Evening
Don't know why I traced that stuff out on wood yesterday... back to using cardboard..
Cut out..
Traced..
Cut...
all the pieces here, sanded the edges..
Mocked up.. looks good.
tiny bottle of glue..
Who needs clamps?
Thats all for today! I'll go to the store tonight and pick up some L-brackets or something to reinforce those joints.
