Fiberglass?

Fiberglass?
So I am looking at starting my summer project which is building an enclosure for an eventual sub that will be installed.
I mentioned in a previous post that I do not want to sacrifice a lot of storage room in the back of my SUV. I saw a website where the person built his enclosure in the spare wheel well. Looks really great. The only "issue" I have is that living in a climate like Canada (hot and cold extremes), I'm worried about the elements effecting the amp/sub down there.
It was suggested to me to make the enclosure out of fiberglass. I have the following questions:
1) Will a fiberglass enclosure in the spare wheel well be better protection against the elements? Or is wood just as good?
2) How expensive is it to buy fiberglass? I have built a few enclosures from wood, but never out of this stuff.
3) Where can you even BUY fiberglass to do this sort of thing?
4) I have looked for some websites detailing how to do it but couldnt really find anything all that helpful. Does anyone know of any sites that show steps in building a fiberglass enclosure? Does anyone have any advice to share on this?
Thanks a bunch!!
