Exclamation 04 f150 subwoofer design

I am making a sub box and amp box for my truck. i have an 04 f150 stx supercab. The box goes where the middle seat is in the front. I took the middle seat out and put a box there to fit the amp. I want to put a picture of it in here but i dont know how. Can anyone tell me? I am going to fiber galss it then put plexy glass ontop to see in. The sub is going to be a downfire box so you can see into it from the top.Does anyone have any suggestions or better idieas?I putting 1 jl 12w3v2

Subs

Matts sub idea (should I say my idea) is pretty cool...I came up with it while looking at some old truck pics...I will give him credit for cutting the wood though I guess I will have to finish it and fiberglass it so all yall can have pics

It is not really that hard, just really time consuming!

i went to best buy and got their box for 2 12's and pulled out the entire center console seat arm rest everything and the box slid right in. so now i use the box itself as an armrest it works great sorry i dont have any pics though.

glass is pretty easy to work with. it sounds a lot worse than actually doing it. i just finished an underseat box for 2 10's that was 100% glass. cool trick... instead of taking tedious measurements, get thick black platic garbage bags and put them under the seat or where ever you are putting the box. then squirt expanding builder's foam into the bag and seal it so you make no mess. when it is set up you can take it out and trim all the uglies off and wrap it in foil. glass on top of the foil and then remove the foam once you've cut the speaker hole with just a gouge and your hands. important though, remember that the foam is the MAX dimension. you will need to rough some of the foam off for wall thickness
