Question Need someone local to make me a simple fiberglass box

Hello peoples,
I'm looking for someone to make me a simple fiberglass box.
It doesnt need to be gloriously pretty, hell the top is gonna be MDF, just the (unseen) enclosure needs to be glassed.

Specs...
This is going into my spare tire well and needs to fit an exact space

I found pics that someone has already doen so this shoudl help
Wheel well


my well from a distance


enclosure


and top w/ 12


Like I said, this is gonna be pretty easy, no need to make it look good, it just has to work.
My taillight is over a portion of the well so this enclosure wont need to go all the way across either.

I"m looking to put in one (maybe two) Pioneer Premier TS-W1041C (Low-Q Design for use in Small Sealed Box (0.6 cubic foot recommended))

box builders, pleae contact me via im or pm

thanks.

Knock on the sheet metal with your knuckles; it looks like that metal is probably pretty damn stiff in that area, and you may be able to get away with just sealing and fastening a top onto the tire well. I'm not sure I'd even bother fiberglassing that whole thing, it looks stout in there. That fiberglass job in the pictures isn't doing anything except sealing the box anyway, that's barely any fiberglass at all.
I'd say see how stiff the metal is, think about making some shim strips to level out that back edge, then seal and mount a top onto it. That's the easiest way to go unless the sheet metal is flimsy enough to be resonant.

thats just my tire well and the metal down there is pretty thin.
You are correct. all I want the enclosure to do is seal off the subs not the entire well.

I have two things i have to keep in mind with this project...
1. the tail lights extend over part of the well so I cant just block them off with a full well enclosure.
2. I want this to be removable in case I want to take her on a track day.

These are drivers that i already have. College budget kills the upgrade desire....for now.

Fair enough, I see your reasoning.
