I'm in the process of re-designing my boot space.

as you may know I had the 2 x 10" subs in boot as well as the amp,
they were all just sitting on a flat panel.

I had no space for the spare tyre either.

so I've ripped it all out at the moment, Im going to try and
fit it all in better, including the spare tyre.

might try and get pics on the progress.

Thanks George,
will do, I seem to have it under control.
just a question,
did you put a divider between your subs or run them out of phase to each other?

[Relaxx]

a divider? not too sure what you mean.

[Damo]

you have two subs in your boot as well right?
are they in like a separate air tight box each or both share the one box.

[Relaxx]

same box. dunno what difference it would make. All i did was read the recommended volume for a sealed enclosure and doubled it. If there is a better way of running it, please let me know :ph34r:

[Damo]

ahh cool,
thanks,

ok got some pics,

the points reflect the pics..

1) an empty boot to work with
[attachment=258:attachment]undefined
2) I want the amp and subs positioned in that way roughly
[attachment=259:attachment]
3) made a base point where the centre section is hinged from
[attachment=260:attachment]
4) the base is bolted to the car frame, found some fixing points.
[attachment=261:attachment]
5) fixed it to the car
[attachment=262:attachment]
6) basic shape of the centre section is complete
[attachment=263:attachment]
thats all for now

I will be starting the sides now.

Looking real good. :claps:

One thing I must add: Invest in some sound deadener for the boot. You will need it.

[Damo]

now one of the sides are on the way,
took all day just to get it to match the contour of the boot shape.
not looking forward to the other side, :fool:
why did I start this in the first place???
remind me!!

heres a pic

Thats a crap load of MDF :).

Man your gonna need some air bags after your done with that.

At least you know nothing will rattle :).

[Damo]

ha ha, yeah,
all the sh#t that i took out from the previous attempt- I think professionals,
it seems a bit lighter, they used 25mm MDF, im using 18mm/16mm board.

:sex:

[PK]

Bye bye boot space...

PK

[Damo]

finally finished the basic structure,
it sounds so much better than before!!!
the bass does not distort like before,
now on to painting and sanding and other features to be incorporated.

You're not carpeting it??

PK

p.s. Looks awesome. :claps:

[Damo]

it was mentioned - carpeting it.
im not to sure yet, i need to buy lights etc..
and i'm off to darwin for work soon,
I'm leaving it at that stage for a little while till I get back.
I'm still designing it as i go, sort of.

:sex:

[Relaxx]

Looks SCHWEET! But just one question, does it actually lift up? If so where do you grip it to do so? That's one mistake i made when i did mine, i didn't think where to lift it from. It's also so heavy that it'd be almost impossible for me to do myself. :fool:

[Damo]

yeah lifts fine, its heavy but managable.
I'm putting a handle there a nice looking one,
at moment te amp is, i know, i know it's not good for it.

:sex:

[Damo]

***update on progress***
well in the week I've been in adelaide and not living out of a suitcase in darwin,
I managed to get some time to start carpeting and fit some of the lighting
installed inside the sub boxes.
starting to look better now.
