That does look good. I tried an encloser myself and am going to try another one made out of fiberglass. This one turned out good and loud. If anyone wants it in the Memphis area PM me and you can come and get it for free.

Anarchy How much space is on the other side of that box..facing the drivers seat. Could I mount two big amps on the back of the box. Or is it touching the rear seats already? Do you have any pics with the rear seats down? Thanks
I just took some measurements and here's what you have for space:

The back of the single 10" box measures 22" x 12 1/16" and the dual 10" box measures 34" x 12 1/16". With both boxes you have 2 1/4" of space at the top and 5" of space at the bottom between the seat and the back of the box. Hope that helps.

How you had time to mess with making one for a vert? I would be interested? Great theard but we need more pictures, maybe some of a build that would be cool.

I've gotten a couple requests for vert boxes but I don't have anything available yet. I'm in the process of trying to find a vert to take some measurements so I can build them.
If anyone in the San Diego area wants to donate their vert for a few hours so I can get some measurements and build some templates I'd be happy to hook them up with a box at half price.

Do you just do boxes, or could you mock up any interior piece? If not, do you know anyone who does???

Anyone try facing the subs forward? I did this for the first time in the 07 GT and it sounds awesome!!! Thesecars actually sound as good if not better than a hatchback that I drove in College.I got my car on the RTA and I had a 37 for a score. It's counterintuitive to think that a forward facing sub would sound good but the way these trunks are designed it actually sounded 10x better than getting the reverb and resonancefrom the trunk and sidewalls of the car, just a thought. I'll post pics tomorrow of my setup when the sun os up.

Nice setup BTW. It looks clean!!

You need fiberglassed interior pieces? If so I can do that. What are you looking for?

Thinking about doors, and rear panels, where the cupholders are. Pretty much, anything that's not cloth. Guess that might include the lower half of the dash too, but don't want to make things too difficult OR expensive...

I really like the work you did! What I like about it is that it looks low profile, not an in-your-face type enclosure. Plus adding the matching body color paint is the kind of thing that will get you an award in my book!

I'd suggest doing a write up on this with lots of photos and details. How does it operate with the seats down, will it hold up if a suitcase slides forward into it, etc?

The nice thing about the Mustang doors and paneling is that its almost all hard plastic. It would probably be a lot cheaper to have a body shop sand those parts down smooth and then skim coat it with some filler and high build primer. Then when its painted it'll have the same look as painted fiberglass. If you need something fabricated from scratch though send me pm and I'll see what I can do.
