with all that... your gonna have to deadden your boot a few times over :)

make sure you determin the volume for your sub(s) before you do. I just did my own FG sub box last week, and i got lucky with the volume :D

you dont need to foam it (unless you want to get huge shapes where i guess you could FG them seperatly then attach them to the main unit. Else biggish bumps n curves you can you modelling clay, or smallish curves some fiberglass clay/bog. )

are you going to put ALL those subs in the one air-sharing space? or are you planning to box them off seperatly? but your generally looking at 4-7 layers, depending on how strong you want it to be.

theres a thread in the audio section that i chucked a few pics in, but ill post some more up later.

Big Paul found this tutorial..i think its pretty helpful.

click me! (http://web.njit.edu/~cas1383/proj/main/)

I can't decide whether i should FG my boot these holidays. I'd rather save up for a different car tho.... :doubt:

Plus, DD2515 would sound...well, it would be like taking away it's purpose in life by chucking it in a sealed box. :nuts:

Glassing a Boot take big Moolah and a lot of Calculation's cause if you mess it up it takes a lot to undo.. I am sticking with MDF and Carpet and Black Spray paint for my Install.

i dont see why it would cost that much... a few hundred for materials (if you were to do the abosolute whole boot)... :|
