There has been a lot of interest about lightweight rear deck subs recently in the car audio forum, whcih got me to thinking. In recent years, I haven't owned a contour and now that I have one, I will be much easier to make contour specific audio parts. One problem is I ahve a crapload of projects going on along with trying to complete housework before our baby is born. So, maybe we can do a few things at once, make me some money to help cover adoption costs, get cegers application specific equipment, and maybe even donate a portion of profits to CEG.
Any thoughts on what to make? I could see doing 1 or 2 things, but because of lack of time on my part, they woudl have to be relatively generic unless i can recruit some local CEGers help. Or even non-local for that matter.

i'll help with whatever you need, dave-ola.
i would think there will be a good amount of interest in a rear deck sub gb, and hopefully some kickpanels again.

Being an audio noob, my only suggestion would be a mounting plate made of MDF in 6" and 8" sizes. Possibly even make it a kit with screws and other needed materials to mount it to the rear deck.

That might be a great entry point. Just the MDF made to fit, with a template printed on paper and mounting instructions/nuts/bolts etc. It would be necessary to make teh MDF cut out in any case if I were to do a fiberglass sealed enclosure to go with it. Keep the ideas coming.

Kickpanels would be cool. I'd also love to see maybe some diagrams of where the best places are for like tweeters and such. I have gotten so much conflicting information from the internet + local shops i really don't even know what to think

agreed- kickpanels would rock! something i would be interested in.
it's all up to you though.
how about a custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure for the taillight corner of my trunk?
it's something that im highly interested in doing though, but probably not feasible

I would be interested in both kick panels and sub.

A lightweight rear deck sub would peak my intrest for sure. Its rather low priority for me now, but if the price is right I might bite  .

One thing I want to really make clear is that once we have a direction decided upon, there will be very limited options. I can't do 14 different versions of the sub enclosure for instance. Let's start compiling a list of options, then I will post a poll which can be voted on to maybe limit it to one sub and one kick panel configuration.
5.25" kickpanel
6.5" kickpanel
10" fiberglass sub enclosure in trunk behind wheel well.
12" FG enclosure in ^
10-12" Bandpass enclosure utilizing factory speaker cutout in deck
Small diameter IB sub in deck (sub included)
Just the baffle with mounting template and hardware (sub not included)
Sealed box sub hanging from deck
