Need suggestion on shallow mount box

I currently have a Kicker Comp VT10 shallow mount sub in a truck box paired to a Kicker ZX300.1 amp. I prefer small subs like this so this is my ideal setup for bass so far. I'm struggling trying to find a box or someone to make one for me that will fit like the stock pioneer sub has. In the beginning my goal was to have a fiberglassed enclosure similar to the shape of the stock box and have it paint matched to the car. If i could even just get a carpeted one there id be just as happy at this point. What are my options, or does anyone on here do work like this?

Just go to one of your local car audio shops and explain what you want. They should be able to make it for you in a day or two, from what it sounds like it wouldn't cost that much to have done. Unless you go fiberglass, that might be a bit more expensive and take a little longer

surprisingly they all keep saying that they can't make wut i want and i cant get ahold of the bigger shops.. its getting annoying at this point.


edit** googled bassform, not seeing anything i like, besides ones that probably wouldn't fit. I hate when they have the perfect thing for a different car..

correct im pretty sure there is just a single 2 12s bassforms box (which i think is hideous btw)

i would honestly try to get the stock sub box and call it a day. Can a mdf box be made for the trunk? ya but few will do it... fiberglass is really the best option but expensive

u think the stock box will be able to hold my kicker with enough room to not lose quality? As it stands this setup sounds way better than the sony xplod 12 w/kenwood 500 watt amp i had in my old cavy

although on second look you will have to modify the box as the stock pioneer sub i believe is 9 inches? not 10?

the stock box is a little small but it will work as good as any other if ur looking at saving space.
