It takes a little bit of talent to work with and get it right the first time. It realy isn't that expensive, most materials can be had for under $20 for a project like ci5ics's.

well im an artist by trade, ive sculpted, etc so might be able to do it... are there any requirements for rear speakers? besides being able to fit in the whole and bolt up?
i know subs need a box.... i was thinking like 6s or 6x9s

yeah you should check out the air space specs for the speaker you want to use.

It's a bitch to work with, I'll tell you that.
I've got several unfinished fiberglass projects (pics in the link in my sig).
Basically, it's getting easier the more I work on it, but it's very time consuming, mostly with the bondo/sanding. Since I'm planning on painting them when they're done, they have to be perfectly smooth...
Anyways, do a search in this forum, or in the honda/acura interior/audio/security forum for fiberglass links. I've got a few, but seems like every few months, someone asks about fiberglass, and I'm getting tired of posting them over and over.

If you're not wanting subs, then why do a custom enclosure? Just hit up the junkyard or eBay for some stock rear speaker mounts, throw some 6-1/2's in there & call it a day...
