Rear center passthrough sealed box
Hey everyone, I want to add a piece to the removable rear center passthrough piece. I would rather have someone make it so it looks like its from the factory but i'll make it myself if i can. I want to basically make a plastic lid to close the box with screws or screws that need a alan wrench to remove. Any ideas on how to go about making this lid/cover or where to go to get this made?

I tried making a box lid for the rear passthrough console by using this acid type chemical my friend gave me to kind of melt plexiglas and bind it with another piece of plastic. I sealed the lid with some silicone and foam.
It worked fine for a while, but I don't think it held perfectly because I felt some air leaks around the edges. I was using a 150 Watt 6.5" mid bass driver.
I got rid of the piece and am trying to do something with an 8" sub.

I'm not trying to squeeze a sub in there anymore i went with a 12'' in a box in the trunk. I was thinking more in terms of a lid for a lockbox type idea. the reason I said screws is because I would like to keep my exhaust silencers in it and wont need to open it very frequently. But I also dont want them rattling around in there due the the vibration from the sub and the exhaust. I'm having someone at tweeter in Va take a look at it to see if he can fabricate something from plastic/plexiglass/ or fiberglass. Unfortunatley I dont want it to be permenantly sealed so....any other ideas on how to make this work?

I could but I'm bored like that and this would be something else I could do to have fun with the car...also if I decide to get that box which would turn my navi into a dvd player I could drop it in there and drill a hole for the wires(just a random thought)
