Boot Build

Hi i want to get a sub & amp in my car but i need to my boot space, so i was thinking i dont want a box sub & that i want to have the amp & sub in the floor of the boot.. if you know what i mean, but was thinking how should i go about making this? Any ideas / Pics if you have done this in your car & best subs to go for etc


Cheers

i always thought the best way was to check if the car has a spare wheel under the carpet take that out then buy a sub with a small bottom get a peice of mdf made the same size as the boot slot it into position hey presto jobs a good one its like making another floor for your boot its not hard

Yea its got a spare under the carpet, cheers i'll do that

You WILL need a box for the sub as it works by the resistance of the air movement so no resistance no sound.
Ask Paulbfd he has built a box in his spare wheel bay and you can build a raied floor to keep the amp under as long as you ventilate it well. This is bery simple you can use the boot lining as a template for cutting a piece of mdf and mounting it on a couple of bits of battening just cut the rear side of MDF to fit.

Can't put it in there. Would be horrible. That big carpet on top, loose most of the bass, road noise. Pic of mine below. It's a 12" sub, and you wouldn't actually believe how much space I still have.

The reason i cant have it like that is because im going to have a baby by October and the pushchair wont fit if i have it set-up like that lol! I've found a build that i was trying to explain and hes still got the spare wheel in his boot its not a GP but dont see why it wouldnt work in any car.

I like that. However, wouldn't get them in the sides I don't think. Punto boot doesn't widen like that You probably could get a pushchair in. What I did was pen and paper, and just doodled till i got what i wanted. Could try one of those thin wall things. About 3/4 inches thick and sits up behind the chairs. Will find link....

Hmm you dont reckon it would? Going to have to try... yea i know what you mean just going to be alot of trial & error till i find the right soloution

Can anyone find it? Looking through every thread and can't find it. The thing that looks like a drum machine!

Like that. Someone has one and sure they said it was quality

Edit... Think I'm wrong, and that would be to wide to fit in a GP i think

Anyone know if that fits ina GP?

Sub in spare wheel well, fibreglass or MDF enclosure depending on room, grill over it so it doesn't get damaged, carpet over the top.

Bass won't be effected too much by the carpet.

Or you could get a real slimline sub like a Phase Linear Aliante to keep box depth to a minimum, but they're not cheap at £200ish.

its me i have the basslink T n i tink its really good
it just fits as the subs flanges are clamped between the back seat n boot
search on here for basslink t then go down to "maximum sound maximum space"


i would post a link but im ryting using my wii

Ahh nice just checked the pic's yer im def going to get 1 of these saves me alot of hassle lol

Finally! Problem solved. Nice one smally
