If you could find a way to fiberglass the inside of it... It would definately take out the flimsiness. Also, those gas tanks really AREN'T that big. Depending on the subs you get, it would probably be just enough volume after the sub displacement and fiberglass, especially if you stuck a few aero ports in it. My 12s call for 1.9 ft^3 each... Wouldn't even be enough room to fit them ported.
