I'd definitely try to do it yourself, because from what I hear, it's not too hard. I want to make my own box for my car as well, and here are a few links that should help you out.

And for forums, the following forums are excellent resources for anything about car audio, including fiberglass work.

Hope this helps. >>

I just love the first article. That guy is hillarious. Very helpful and I will more then likely do this in the spring.

For more indepth detail check out this forum
http://www.caraudiolounge.com/

Check out the "Fabrication" Topic and you'll find a lot of threads dealing with FG install.

And for you that have done this: What type of Fiberglass did you use? I'm planning on using it in the back two corners. I've heard 18 oz plain weave.

I might be gineau-pigging this too. >> I'm going home in an hour or so, and I may be able to drive my dad's Audi for a while. If so, I might pop in a new cd player and make a fiberglass sub box for the trunk of the car and put in my old Audiobahn sub, just so that I can have some bass.
