(i just edited my post)

i dont want to make the box any taller than 5.75 inchs or this would end up raising the floor level higher than before. So if i make it out of 3/4 inch mdf i would have to make the bottom of the box out of fiberglass to contour to the floor and leave enough room to clear the sub. I would also need to add poly, the box would be around .64 cubic sq feet and i need .75 cubic sq feet. how much poly would i need to add?

i just called the infinity tech line, they said that with the amp and sub that i am using 1/2 mdf should be fine. They said when you are running some of their higher end stuff 500 rsm plus you need 3/4 inch, i am going to be running at 250 rms.

why don't you put the amps inside the glove compartment and where the stock sub is?

i am looking for something with a bit more show. I want show but still usable storage space. If i wanted just show i would have done some sort of fiberglass enclosure on top of the floor and lost all cargo space. If i wanted just sound and didn't care about show i would have put the sub in the stock sub located and the amps in the glove box behind the passenger seat.

my inspiration:

worked on the amp mounting area some more




amps in



sub and amp trim rings. See the blue lines, the inside or the part closer to the amps and subs will be see when the final trim panel is on. I am thinking of making the this inside part silver, the rest will be black. The outside part will support the final trim panel or false floor panel.

for those that did their own sound deadening with things like fat mat or dyna mat before, did you guys only did the actual bare metal? I did some on the bare metal, but I spent most of my time on the individual plastic interior pieces that came out of the trunk. I bought 64 sq. feet of elemental design's edead 80. Looking at this thread, makes me think that I should go back and put more on the bare rear strut. It makes more sense because the bare metal are connected to the frame and are more likely to resonate through the bumps on the road. I still have about 20 sq. feet left, I think I will use the rest on the actual rear strut, not the plastic pieces. I have to order at least another 50-100 sq. feet, if I want to do the floor, doors, and ceiling.
