if you can spare a few weeks in the spring time you can do it for a fraction of the cost. the RAAMat and ensolite (sound deadener and foam sound deadener) cost me a grand total of 150 shipped (enough for the entire car, minus the floor boards. i did the entire top hatch for the hell of it since i had extra

the fiberglass enclosure took me 3 weeks (it rained for 2 of those weeks). i would do some work, then let it dry for a day or two, even though i put enough hardener, the 40 degree weather and moist air did not help drying. i spent about 100 in materials to make the enclosure - 30 for a respirator (fiberglass resin/dust is not lung friendly), fiberglass cloth and mat for around 30, resin for about 20, paint brushes and gloves took up the rest.

Default Rear (side) sub enclosure

What holds the sub enclosure in place in the event of a accident?

i havent exactly figured out a way to safely secure the enclosure yet...but im currently using these:

Clear Hook-and-Loop Superlock™ Fasteners (4-Pack) - RadioShack.com

basically its velcro, but 10x stronger. temporary solution of course. the mold is also slightly bigger, so i had to cram the damn thing in, so we'll see what i can rig up!

How much of the RAAMat & ensolite did you order? Who did you order it from?
