there's some pics mate... basically made two halves but instead of having them front and back i did two sides spanning the entire way with a break in the middle to let me fold it in. was then held into place by the sub pushing it out against sidewalls and also the contours of the car

p.s. my sub box is now recarpeted

6mm would be alrite if mike16v's used it and found it fine but imo seems a bit thin.... i'd aim for something a little sturdier (maybe 10mm) and then use batons to support it
