I'm stuck with what I got, doesn't look like I can move my seat or make much more room so I want to see what I can do about making the most of what I have availible.

With these dimensions and being 60" wide overall I can get about 2.25 ft^3 but only a mounting depth of 5-3/8" for a 10" sub and 5-5/8" for a 8" sub. This greatly limits my options.
Also the current design is with the box built from 1/2" thick material with a 3/4" thick front double baffle.
Is there any stronger material out there I can use other than mdf maybe HDF, or birch, just looking for something strong in 1/2" thickness. Could I make it from 1/2" MDF and then cover it in a layer or 2 of fiberglass resin/matt to reinforce it? Or should I just go full fiberglass? I can't go beyond the exterior dimensions but I can change what I make it out of to gain internal clearances.
Oh and this box is going behind the seat in a crew cab truck, the bottom and back wall will be braced directly against the floor and back wall of the cab.
What'da ya think?
