First Fiberglass Enclosure, got some questions...

[pervertatoid 10+ year member]

Okay, I had a couple of ideas that would be great for my subs in a fiberglass enclosure. Unfortunately, There's no way that I can get these designs in and out of my trunk during or after the build process.

So a couple of questions: Are there any tricks for building a fiberglass enclosure in separate pieces (or something otherwise) so that I could get it all into the trunk?

If not, are there any tips on how to completely build a box in the trunk? Stretching fabric while inside the trunk seems like it would be quite difficult if not impossible, not to mention applying resin to the sides which would fit into the widest opening of the trunk.

If I'm pretty much S.O.L. with this design, how much worse is it going to be to have two separate enclosures on each side of my trunk facing (roughly) inward? I've read on here that separate enclosures cause issues as cancellation and distortion; I don't want my SQ to suffer significantly.

Thanks in advance!

What I've heard is that having subs fire toward each other doesn't cause any cancellation, loss of SPL, or SQ. I've seen a car with like 24 speakers or something crazy like that, and they basically made a huge tunnel of speakers, all firing in at each other.

It's really up to you, either way will work. Although building two removable enclosures I think will be far easier.

Great, that's what I'm hoping for. I like the idea I had for a single enclosure, but it wouldn't be worth the time and effort if I ever needed to remove it for anything (say, upgrading speakers, replacing something that was blown, etc.).
