I'm in the process of getting a custom box built in my back wheel well. The box will be fiber glass and have a custom cover.

I have a 10" Kicker Solo Classic that I had in a small box behind the 3rd row but I wanted a more factory look. Below is a pic in the early stages but it should be done tomorrow. I will post completed pic tomorrow.

Interesting...

I think it has potential to look good!. What year is your truck and do you have the automatic lift gate?


more pics of behind the plastic and the entire box please....

I'm having it done because I don't know enough to do it corectly. The box will be permenent. He cut out the big plastic piece and attached the front piece you see. He then built a side piece that fits inside the well and the rest will be fiber glass. The blue you see in the well is tape and he will fiber glass over that. The box will basicly be built inside the well. He will use some type of fiber carpet to construct the other side and top and then fiber glass it all while its in the wheel well.

The front will be covered in matching grey vinyl and have a bowtie logo in it.

I have an 07 LT and it does not have a auto liftgate. The only thing that needs to be removed is the jack. I was also able to keep the storage area which I like.

Yes, the jack needs to be removed but the bolts can stay.

It should look like that but not quite as fancy. As I said, the front cover will be wraped in grey vinyl and will have a faint bowtie logo in it. The part that covers the front of the speaker will be a black speaker grill cloth.

I think it wil look good but I hope it sounds good as well. Might have to add some dynomat in and around the box.
