is the blue portion the fiberglass portion?

that's alot of area needed to glass that would be much better done in mdf. i know you say you need it for the air space but you are going to need TONS of layers along with bracing to reduce flexing. it will happen, believe me. i did an enclosure for my xxx that ran off 1500w and it flexed like a mother, even put a 3" crack in my trunk floor. and it was done with about 15 layers of mixed mat and cloth.

as for attaching the mdf to fiberglass, you don't need any screws. just glass the mdf to the fiberglass. though you need a large number of layers to get a solid hold. glass the inside and outside when attaching to get a good seal.

you could run the mdf right up to the wheel well and then just glass

no its not a spare tire well. Its a deep trunk well in the hatchback of my camaro. don't hate on the paint skills. if you saw a pic of my well you'd see it would look close to what I designed in paint.

jensen sub? don't really know what your talking about

this is what it looks like, the mdf top matches the angle of the two side plastic pieces. the deep well will be fiberglassed inside

if its a daily box you can just calculate it using a tape measure and some basic integral knowledge. worse comes to worse you can just change the length of the port.
