RX-7 Install

[HardHitter 10+ year member]

Alright, so I finally got around to re-doing my install in my RX-7 and so I threw this together. I have the basic layout and everything down, I just need to know how I can go ahead and clean it up. I want to basically have a cover that'll go over the amps but show the top of the amp, just a cover so it will hide all the messy wiring by myself. I'm thinking maybe fiberglass, but I don't know, any suggestions would help.

Heres just quick pictures of it, don't mind it, it's not close to finished, that is a temp box too, I'll be doing a fiberglass one angled up towards the hatch window. The amps are where I want them to be, but the sub box is just temp for now.

Any suggestions for fiberglassing?

I think I know what I'm doing for the amps. I'm going to make a "frame" that outlines the top of the amps and then just going to fiberglass that to make the amp cover.

Now the problem I'm having here is the sub. At this time, the reason why I couldn't do a false floor is because if I did a false floor, the sub box wouldn't fit. It barelly makes it with the hatch closed all the way. What I want to do is make the box angled so it's firing to the hatch window but I have no idea how I would be able to calculate the fiberglassed box volume.

In the end, i want the install to look clean.

Thank god you listened to experience and DIDNT put subs in your storage bins like others (can you tell ive had an rx7 ???). Good job, it should sound great!

Nope, Nine.2 and Nine.2x

Nine.2 is for my 6500i's and Nine.2x @3ohm for my 10W7 ~700-800W to it from the amp.

One word: TITS.

you probably wouldn't even need glass for that. Just use some 1/4" board cut to shape. just a thought. I just suggest that because i dont' know crap about glassing.
