Default Custom Sub Boxes

Hey whats up everybody? Well after i stalked the websites trying to find out some custom sub box ideas but not finding the idea i wanted, i ventured out on my own. My friend has an 07 H3 and i do all the upgrades on it for him, (i have been doing custom car work for about 4 years). Anyway what we wanted to do is mount to 12s in the back of his hummer, one on each side where the storage compartments are, got alot done today, will post pics in a few

Well got it all done today, sort of. Couldnt build a complete box because of how big the woofer is, so its a free air sub. I put fatmat down on all the metal in the back (well as much as i could, i ran out before i could finish) then we raided doller general of 6 pillows and gutted them for the cotten and filled in the large holes with that. Mounted the amp to a piece of mdf and bolted it to the rear sear plastic (pain in the a** to get those seats out by yourself). Gotta pull it all apart again after spring break, touch up everything and paint the boxes & amp rack. Picks to follow at the end of the week. Im off for spring break, time to party! Later

Alright well after much r&d, the plastic rattles a little bit. So i bolted the black plastic piece in where the 3 plastic clips were under the back glass (1/4" bolts work perfect). Helped alot but wasnt perfect so took the top plastic pieces back out and got some truck camper top weatherstrip rubber and put it around several places. Havent got to try it out yet, friend had to go to work. Here is a pic of the top pieces
