My b/f did this but in a bmw and it worked out really well. The only real issue was when he made the fiberglass box in the spare tire well the car smelled for like a week. Other than that I'm sure it would work out fine.

haha, i got a stiff learning about "custom" boxes you buy online. make it yourself. you will enjoy the sound and quality much more than a low quality prefab box. and i found this to be true with the box i originally had for my 10. it was made of particle board.. and thats normal for fiberglass. when it fully cures the smell goes away from the fiberglass. its absorbed into watever is around and that will air out in time as well. if your gonna build a fiberglass box. talk to someone whose done it first. if youve never fiberglassed before, you could get frustrated and anoyed and you wont want to be near anything made of fiber ever again lol.
