Default Question about subwoofer enclosures

Well the stereo in the truck is fine but I would like to have a bit more bass.
Im interested in putting some subs back there... problem is they take up to much space so I have the idea of putting one or two into the rear hatch door.

Has anyone had any experience with finding a premade box I could bolt to where the factory plastic does??


OR a good place that can do a custom fiberglass box?

Thanks

I can but they block the air compressor on the right side of the cargo area.

I want to put them in the rear lift door because it wont block anything or take up any storage space.

This SUV..truck, in the rear door shown below the glass




I thought about the sides but it still takes up a lot of room. In the hatch door it wouldn't take up anymore space. Another reason is if I put it on the side it will block the Air Compressor that is on the side and installed into it.

some pics of what the hatch looks like i think http://www.trailvoy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13195

what about putting some in a box under the front seats or the middle row? the pre made boxes for pickups might fit?
