I don't think anyone has done that. If it were me, I'd do the front panel and shape the sides out of MDF or BB, then use cloth to fiberglass the whole bottom to form fit the car. Finally, make face deck out of MDF/BB with cutouts for sub and amp displays plus supports, and rest it down on top of the fiberglass form. Finally, fiberglass it all together, paint, and put all the equipment in.

yeah, I understood.... the process will use similar techniques as if he were doing a spare tire install. I've seen custom truck boxes in the general shape that he'll be needing.

Since he only needs space for one sub... I'd just go with wood. less mess, much easier for a first time installer to work with, and much cheaper. Make the baffle (the top part that the sub mounts to double thickness... So, the baffle is 1.5" thick, and then have the sub sunken into it 3/4" so it is flush mounted and doesn't stick out. That way it'll be protected from cargo moving around.... you may even consider puting a heavy guage metal grate over the top of it too (has to be a heavy guage otherwise it'll resonate and sound horrible). If you go with a paint.... go with duplicolor bed liner... it dries hard, is bumpy (texture) and holds up fairly well to scratching. the texture will help hide any imperfections (but try your best cover up any imperfections with body filler before hand.
