    mayb lookin at abou 300 quid for sum half decent, try:
    www.bassjunkies.com
    www.caraudiosecurity.com

    best way is two subs and an amp, wire it all up, zip tie it all together and get sum small carpet grips or just make a cut in the carpet and thread a zip tie through it as a loop,

    may even be worth takin it to sumwhere that will do ice installs and for 15 quid get them to wire it all up properly and they will sort out all the wires.

    you will haev to take up at the very least the edges of the carpet there is basically no way around it unless you want the wires running all over the shop. The carpet isnt difficult to take up either, pull up the rubber door seal prise off the carpet holding clips and thats it.

    as for the boot install you have only a few things holding you back: money, your imagination and your own skills.

    First off have a think of what you want, do you require space? What kind of music do you listen to? are you wanting out and out volume? Once you have had a think have a look at what you want to buy and if its in your budget then its time to get sketching, even a crappy drawing gives you something to aim towards.

    Websites i would recommend and have used for ICE

    One question. With fibre glass, do u still have to pack it out like on a normal enclosure, or make a normal enclosure with the fibreglass worked around it?

    Thats confusing ain't it?

    its up to you you could make the enclosure as normal then have a fibre glass "cover" or make a skeleton with wood and mesh into the shape you want then use fibre glass to actually make the enclosure
