Adam its easy.

1. smear releasing agent and/or masking tape all over the inside of the wheel well.

2. coat the ENTIRE well in fiberglass

3. pull out the fiberglass mould of the well and add more fiberglass to the inside of the mould if you want to make it stronger.

4. cut yourself a MDF top with the hole cutout for the sub.

5. fiberglass the MDF top to the fiberglass well mould and ensure that it is very strong and ridgid and sealed.

6. drill a small hole OR mount a terminal binding post into the MDF lid to allow you to wire up the sub.

7. screw the sub into place and ensure it is well sealed by pushing on the cone, seal any leaks from the inside using either more resin/fiberglass or silicone.

8. Trim the MDF top in your choice of fabric or resin it and paint it.
