Anyways...back to the original question. The 10" or 12" IDMAX are great subwoofers. In IB-applications...it'll provide a lot of low-end and accuracy.

Mine is a little different. The rear deck is cut out and there is a thick baffle molded to it (fiberglass and bondo for shaping, silicone to seal and bolts to hold). Maxes are screwed to the baffle and the whole thing is pretty solid. There is no problem with rear window ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
If you can fit 12's use them instead of 10's. they have much more low end subbass. If you are going to compete you need all the subbass you can get to get good scores.

Yeah I gotta admit that while you can do great things with fiberglass enclosures, the fabrication process is no fun. That cottony white stuff you see in the pic gets EVERYWHERE! If it is your first time, be prepared for a big mess.
The end result sounds great, but does not convey the hours and hours of setup, glassing, layering, bondo-ing, sanding, etc. etc.

Myself...hE!! no. I'll barely fix a small ding on my surfboard. Fiberglass work, I leave to the professionals
Nice job you did though, now you only have a days worth of work of bondo, sanding...then to the body shop, if you're going to paint it that is.
I have a friend that does installs. Going to make my fiber box for pretty cheap (minus the paint and finishing sanding).
Thanks for the pics...looks good. Post a final pic when you're done, I'm anxious to see it.
