The amp is hidden under everything so it gives it an overall clean flush, stock look.

The sound is nice and clear and hits pretty good for a sealed 10" sub. The amp is sitting in my spare tire under everything. I'd take pics but its a pain to get in there with all the wires. Everything also removes very easy if I do ever get a flat and need to get to my spare.

I was going to paint match it but wanted something more stock looking and would blend in with the rest of the trunk.

Learning to fiberglass is really easy. Just got read up on it some and start with small stuff, and work your way up to doing bigger stuff.
