Default Help, Convertible Stealth Box

Hey guys, I have a 10" Type-R that I'm looking to put in my 98 firebird vert. I'm thinking of putting it in where the spare tire goes but couldn't find a stealth box. I've never built one but it seems to be my only option. I read the fiberglass stealthbox walkthrough and it seemed pretty easy to do. I was wondering how to fit the box in there, do I have to make a platform of some sort since it's a deep well? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check the convertible section. I am building a box the same size and shape as the spare tire. Round!! It will give you much more airspace than a normal box, and will mount where the spare tire goes using the spare tire mount!! Thinking I will sell the box for $199.00!! P\M if interested!

Although it won't work for me, I still carry my spare.
