I'm thinking about doing exactly this style of build. From the look of that engineering sketch you photographed I imagine you might have measurements for all the pieces you ended up with. This also looks like a more straightforward design that some of the other approaches kicking around on the net. Mind sharing the measurement details?

The box is still in my DD wagon. I use it everyday. I never really drive without the stereo on, so it's pretty much been going strong since 2009 when I posted this. I do turn it up pretty high when I'm by myself. No leaks in the box, no cracks. Sounds the same as when I installed it.
Good luck in making yours. It's a pretty fun project.

After seeing this and studying my spare tire well in my 03 wagon, I am unclear on one thing. It looks as though your box rests on the spare tire and not on the lip of the foam outline as the plastic tray does. Is this correct? Seems like just sitting on the spare tire would rattle, or maybe in am missing something.
Awesome outcome though. Got all the materials, going to glass it up in a few weeks and verify volume, then see if I have enough room to go with the 12".

I just finished doing the fiber glass portion of this, i'm going to go double check my measurements today but i'm petty sure i'm going to fit a shallow mounted 12 in it just fine. Im thinking of a Pioneer 12 ( TS-SW3001S2 ), Guess I need to go get packing peanuts now to verify the air volume that im guess with my rough messurements using this site.
