Don't know of any links, but do know that an entire fiberglass box is tough. It flexes quite a bit, which reduces your output. Typically you have to brace the inside of the enclosure with wood to strengthen.

how about a 100% fiberglass box w/sub that i GUARANTEE not to flex and only weigh your car down about 20 lbs and look as factory as possible but SOUND as aftermarket as possible. PM me if your interested. Fiberglass boxes only flex if the materials used are of bad quality and not done properly. When done properly they outperform wooden boxes by leaps and bounds.

How about nice cardboard box? Just kidding. Fiberglass box is the way to go, it just has to be well done.
