Yes 6x9's do sound good in a single enclosed box. But they are a different animal compared to subs.

Subs move alot of air and in a single box it sounds great but put them in a big box with no chambers and you just limited your subs sound and life span. That air that is being pushed by that single sub go's to the next sub and stall's it and so on. Maybe now with the new equipment out these day's it might be different from when i was building stereo's, but i doubt it

Put it this way, have you ever pushed on a sub with your hand and the other one moves a little? thats exactly what happens under power and destroys the subs over time of course thats only in a non chambered box.  A chambered box will not affect the other subs movement at all if built right. (no leaky's)

And then we have ported boxes.

Put your hand over the port and you can feel the air moving out of the box, This is the same air thats trapped in the box and just rolls around creating back pressure (if you will) on your subs movement in a non chambered box.

That sounds good

Lets see the finished product

I predict lots of bondo and sanding in your future. The fiberglass looks pretty rough the work is just starting for you . I was a installer for a few years and right where you are at in the project is about where I would loose steam...

Which means it will just get heavier.   I hope you have a good mounting system


Still would love to see it completed

Wish i would of thought of that when i was building boxes for my lowered nissan's would have been alot lighter.  Are you even gonna chamber the speakers so they dont fight one another and where are you going to put it?  I didnt do much reading so if i missed it sorry. But it looks cool
