Default Speaker boxes for a C3

I am trying to build a set of speaker enclosures for over the wheel wells of my 76. Anyone out there have any plans?

Above are some pics of my first endevor into fiberglass, It didn't turn out too bad. It had 2 pair of 6.5s in it and the amp was mounted on top. It was light and strong as hell, but alas the c3 won, it's impossible to get good sound outta a c3. It was a lot of fun building the box though, just use your imagination.

Applause!!.

I'm helping a friend build a sub setup for his 72. I'm planning a completely removable setup using an aftermarket cargo storage bin that will hold the amp and low-profile sub. It will have quick releases on the power/ground/speaker wires. Build to come in early '08

When I bought my 78 pace car it had a box w/ 2 M&M 8's that spanned the hatch area above the wheel wells with room to slide the tops under. ONE WORD OF CAUTION::::: the gas tank is directly behind the hatch back panel. You only have about 1" till you hit it. The guy I bought it from said for some reason he can't fill it past 1/2 tank without smelling gas. DOH!!!!

In your C3 forum thread, I posted a link to an old thread with a discussion of above-wheelwell enclosures.
