Post Stealth Sub

Has anyone had a stealth box designed for the TSX. I am looking for a good 8 inch sub (I NEED my trunk space). I currently have a 10JLW6 In my CL, but the box that it was designed to fit are to big to suit my current needs. and the trunk size of my TSX. I am open to any suggestions as to what brand of 8 inch sub i should look into.

Size of the box needed. Understand that most 8's were made to be ported. Might want to go with a 10 if it will fit. Dimensions, pics, all that.

You can always get a custom fiberglass box molded to the back of the trunk.

Because I am using epoxy resin I am able to cheat a little and use glue to hold the first layer of fiber in place. The glue will dissolve in the epoxy.

Resin epoxy applied with 3 -4 layers of fiberglass and Kevlar strips to help stiffen it up.

ok here is a quick update. I have the hole for the sub cut out and have attached the fleece over the mdf. Hopefully tomorrow I will apply the epoxy and a few layers of fiberglass to finish the enclosure. If anyone have an idea of where i could find some rug that will match the factory rug please send me a pm.
