umm...you're only option really is fiberglass....unless you know somebody who does plastic molds for cheap.

If you're only looking for 1 speaker...the 10-15 lb. difference it would make by making it out of wood wouldn't be noticeable.

if your racing, get your car corner weighted. chances are placing the box in back will help in performance by getting more weight in back giveing you closer to a 50/50 weight ratio. the small change in weight will be offset by placing the box in a place to enhance your weight ratio.
