Nope no guide. I'll write you one now though....
Measure, and measure again, it would be embaracing to get that wrong....
Remove as much interior as you can including carpet and seats because it will get messy(Might be a good idea to remove the tailgate and rear bumper if your working insude)....
Dynamat the hell outa the area your gonna be fitting the install to cos it won't come out after you have made it in most cases.
Make an MDF and timber frame of the shape you want and secure it to the floor properly too using something like coach bolts or self tapping screws. Make all the sub boxes to the correct size and seal the joints with P40.
Smooth all the edges and make the shapes you want with fibreglass, if your install can be removed then it might be a good idea to do that, but if its in there permentantly then you have to do it in the car. Smooth the fibreglass out with P38 filler.
Paint, trim, or whatever your gonna do to it, again, do this outside the car if you can...
