I was wondering how do people do this? I understand the wole concept. But I just don't get how do you get screws in the wood if it's so close to the bottom of the rear deck and the sides of your trunk. Is there and special tools. What I'm talking about is a Meade style box like in his civic.

Various lengths of screwdriver bits are your friends. As well as quick setting adhesives and epoxy.

You can also use some strips of wood. Attach it to the piece before you place it in the vehicle, and then screw the next piece to the strip of wood.
Use wood glue, and the screw/nails are just there until the glue dries. Once the glue has dried, the screws/nails are doing nothing.
You can also use some angle brackets to secure both pieces to, and then fiberglass over the entire thing. Again, once the glue and fiberglass have dried, the screws/nails mean nothing.

Cut 90 degree triangles out of mdf. use with good glue and screws to secure top and bottom of the joint. building in the trunk is not easy.
use mdf everywhere you can, glass where ya need to. rip some 2x4's and use them as bracing.
if you can you want to seal off the trunk from the cabin, port it into the cabin and have the woofers fire into the cabin as well (fold down seats) this so far has been the loudest in my car by FAR.

How would subs up and port foward, sound like? Because I just had a thought of building 2 skinny boxes and sliding them into the trunk from the back seat. Oh, yeah this will be in a 2 door Honda Civic with 4 12's.

I just finished running a DD9515 in a 3.5 cuft narrow box with the port forward and turned around with the port to the rear.
Port forward sounds nice, but doesn't have alot of impact. Port rear "sounds" louder and rattles alot more ish. I think because that wave has further to travel and time to "grow." It also has the back of your car to bounce off of and that makes the whole vehicle resonate. Port to the back is louder in car. Port to the front is louder out of the car. IMHO
SacMustang is speaking the gospel though, that setup he described was the loudest trunk in the world last year in dbdrag.
The box I'm building is going to have subs firing forward, and something resembling a port also firing forward with the trunk sealed.
