Yeah the title is confusing, but so is the situation. I am not looking to build a traditional sub woofer enclosure.
Rather, I want to have built a solution, that would essentially be a false floor that would house 2 10" shallow mount sub woofers, and my two amplifiers(1 4 channel, 1 mono block).
There is an individual on MSF that built exactly what I want(pictures below).
With that said, does anyone have experience with a shop or person that could build this for me?
I have spoken with Audio Heaven, but a)they do not start wood work until summer, as they do so outside, so the shop can stay clean for tint, etc.
b)given the custom nature of what I want, I am not sure AH has the expertise to build the solution.

Auto Sound and Design at Highway 7 and Main St may be a suitable builder. Never dealt with them before, but they specialize in car audio/alarm exclusively.

Just to warn you - a custom install is $$$$$
and fiberglass custom installs are $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Unfortunately, a lot of the custom car audio shops are long gone ever since the DIY kits hit the internet.

bingo.
Many people say great things about Chase. Dave2010GT, Mighty Mous, even John at Auto Links told me to see Chase. Once you see the work Chase has/can do, you will be impressed.
Pictures coming soon.

you could have done built that for sure! that enclosure isn't ported, would have been a breeze

+1

However, I don't think he has the time to do it. Dude has like 6 jobs and 7 girlfriends, a mistress in the Caribbean and a goldfish. No way he has the time to tear apart the trunk, and build an enclosure to spec.

PLUS I doubt the design the OP is looking for is exactly as pictured or as simple

If that happens. Close the app. Remove it from Multiple tasking. Open it back up and try again. Works for me.

Ami , you got pics of your final setup? It was Chase that did yours right?
Mind telling me your thoughts on his work and the final product?

Thuwa - yes chase did my setup. Quality of work was great. He talked over the design with me, and we agreed on design and price. The completed project was better than expected.
Only negative I would say, is the project took much longer than Chase expected, as he was juggling other projects. It was initially expected to be finished in one weekend, ended up at 3 weekends.

finished project -

I actually came across this place
http://www.supercrewsound.com/Mazda3.html
It's a US based place so they don't state shipping to Canada on the site. You gotta e-mail them. I personally think this is nice. Something I was looking for.

Sure it's nice, but you still lose a major chunk of your trunk. You can buy something similar to that from most of our audio sponsors. It is not custom, just very generic.

It looks awesome. Sorry I didn't say anything before I posted the link. I saw this at work, and they block everything that's cool. Not that it's a major issue or anything, but did you lose your spare tire?

yes, I did sacrifice the spare tire.
