the site was down, however, if you search the multiple protege boards, you'll find a pretty sweet enclosure hihosilva did for the p5 for a dual 10 inch sub hook up.. was VERY sweet.. look around and you'll find it
peace

I'm actually in the process of doing that right now. It's really not too hard, it's just time consuming and requires patience-- first you have to build the box (obviously), then you have to fiberglass it. You just need a sheet of fiber glass fiber, resin, and hardener. (and all that stuff should be at a car parts store), and then a lot of sanding. A lot of sanding. And just when you think it's smooth, it's not. Sand it more. Then go over it with a glazing putty and a flat-edged scraper (to fill in holes). Then sand that smooth. Now primer it. Now you're going to see every crappy imperfection on the stupid thing. Now glazing putty up the holes again, then primer it again. Now you can sand. Again. Then primer just one more time, and it's ready for paint! After paint, put the clear coat on (can't forget that). Another thing is that it's worth it to spend the time finding paint from a company that makes your factory color, just so everything matches. I should have my box up and running w/ pictures here in a month or 2 (hopefully). I personally think the work and effort is worth it; if you ever want to sell it you'll get some $$$ if it looks good!
