Like i have a sub box right now but i had to fold the back seats down and the box is sitting on top of that. So i was just wanting to make my own instead of having to pay $100 for a new one.

So what kind of wood did you use and what type of caulking?

fiber glass isnt very hard... easy to learn and if you can do paper mache... you can lay fiberglass... the hardest part it making a mold to lay the glass on..

Your refering to the MTX Thunderform...Pretty decent enclosure, mediocre sub, disappointing amplifier. You'd be better off buying a subthump enclosure or a used empty Thunderform and supplying your own sub with a seperate amp. Overall you'd be much happier with the results!! I have owned this enclosure and went that route.

Edit: Sorry, I see you wanted to custom make a box.
