Custom Boot Install

[brad`]

Ok so i wanted to do something custom instead of just launching a sub and an amp in the boot and going, so i decided to conceal the sub and the amp so i still have boot space to store stuff. Let me know whatt you think, its my first time i have ever tryed anything like this. So be honest, thanks

[aye you]

very impressive effort

Looks good. Do you have a cover for the sub for when you have shart objects in the boot?

I quiet like it , also the amp on the side looks good.
great effort for the first time too.
Cheers, woody

I like it also... damn shame i have a LPG tank in the way :P

Looks good man! When i get mine done properly i want the same thing but i want the sub facing inside and not being able to see it from when you open the boot. I like where the amp is it makes me wanna get mine re-mounted lol.

I like it, good work mate! It's a similar setup to what I have, but kinda reversed if that makes sense? :
My sub is firing into the cabin, so the amp is on display. I also have my mono in the same place as your amp, but under the trim so its hidden. It still gives usable boot space, just not as much.

What materials did you guys use to make the custom surround?

[Pinkbits]

Looks great, almost mistake it for factory fitted.

Not 100% sure what mine is made of, as I had that built for me. I am too lazy and uncoordinated to build something like that myself! :
I am pretty sure its just regular plywood covered in felt though.

Thanks for all the feed back. its just carpet from Autobarn i think it was like $24.99 for 1m x 2m. other wise i just used MDF 3cm thick ( i think ) and cut it to the shape of the sub box, used a bracket to hold it in place and thats about it, not the hard to do really, cost me about $40 all up.

I dont have a cover to prtoect the subv not to sure what im going to do aabout that yet.. any idea were i can get a cover /grill for it ?

[MrXr6Tickford]

i know that jaycar sell grills/covers etc..

try autobarn, strathfield etc.

[brad`]

thanks alot, how do u install them so to speak, its just a matter of bolting it in yeah?

[ClassicAU]

I used the Jaycar grille on my old setup in my old station wagon, worked a treat! They come with 4 brackets that you need to screw into the sub box itself around the speaker to hold the grille on. Easy as.

hey while im at it, "ClassicAU" is ur carpet the same Grey as the origional factory carpet ? and how did u make it look like the old carapet flowed witgh the new one ? in mine u can see were the the new capet ( sub enclosure ) stops and the old carpet starts

[ClassicAU]

I think the camera has had a lot to do with the look of it! It does stand out a bit more in real life. The thing is, that carpeted bit is just a fake wall, is not actually part of the sub box itself. Its not even attached. It only stays in there as it was cut to be a tight fit. The wood itself is quite flexible, so it kinda bends and fits into place, and the shade makes it look like its part of the carpet.
Like I said, I had it made for me, so I am not sure exactly what the material is. The boys at Tower Audio in Oakleigh did it all for me if that helps.

looks sweet as Brad, I done a custom boot install in my old AU, it was wasted space so i decided to fill it full of system.
