How are you going to secure it so that it stays in there? Looks to me like once you put the sub in, its gonna want to tip over... Good clean fiberglass work though

Thanks. This was my first time doing anything with fiberglass so i am pleased with how it turned out. I could have smoothed it out a little more but its a jeep not a show car so it looks fine to me. Im willing to help anyone out if they wanna give it a try.
