[QUOTE="96GTIVR6, post: 2402942, member: 569055"] Can't say I've ever blown a speaker... and I'm not using this magical INTELLIQ you speak of... [IMG]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m313/96gtivr6/orly.gif[/IMG] Back to your original question, yes many people have made either ported or sealed fiberglass enclosures in the place of the factory spare tire. It seems though that based on your initial lack of knowledge with fiberglass that you might consider a slightly simpler means of enclosure construction (such as wood) for your first project and then move on to fiberglass down the road. When you decide to though the process will be something like this: Remove carpet Put tape over entire area where you will take the fiberglass mold Spray glue tin foil to tape (optional) Lay down fiberglass resin and mat Cut out top plate from 3/8" MDF and fiberglass onto now removed mold Router out mounting circle for speaker Cut out a spot for the port, and attach port.
