Default Extended cab sub box

Hey guys, we just got my girl a new truck and decided that since we use it to go camping/riding that we didn't want a giant sub box in the back seat taken up all the extra room that we intended to use. so, i decided to build a fiberglass box that would hold a 12" yet would still leave both seats available to use and this is what we came up with. there wasn't too many references that i seen on here where people were building boxes so decided to post up in case people want more ideas then the other ones i did find. any feedback welcome.

Oh... I wonder if I could build big enough to put all the jack equipment behind.

Im thinking the next one im gonna try to build will be a double 12" that will still allow both seats to be used. .gonna be tricky cause i want it to sit more flush with the back wall and i wanna carpet it to match.

Thanks man. Only thing I would change if I we're to do it again is to aim the sub more straight toward the seats. I feel it would have a bit more bass that way. Food for thought

Haha to be honest i thought i was gonna catch crap for the zebra but my lady wanted it so she got it. plus it matches the center console lid and the other small zebra touches to make it her own truck. haha.

and its about 3/8" once i finished it. hard to say how many layers exactly because sometimes i tear the glass into thinner layers so it wets out easier.
