Boot Sub Install - looking for Ideas

[Karrot]

Ok, so I have the worlds ugliest 12" sub strapped in to my boot right now.

The 'install', if you can call it that, is a chopped up Fusion 12" sub enclosure and the corresponding 400W 2 channel amp. It works well providing enough bass to massage kidneys and give more panel rattle than a DC-10 on take off, but its ugly and take up a massive portion of the boot floor space.

What i would like to do is build a box to run full width across the back of the boot floor (similar to the JBL unit) with 2 6.5" subs. I'd move the amp to beneath the passenger seat.

Actually constructing the box shouldn't be difficult with some MDF, screws and glue.

Has anyone build something like this before or does anyone have any pointers or other ideas?

TIA

Have a look on 206info.co.uk ... they have a dedicated ICE section which may give you some ideas. Personally the CC boot is small enough without that! And it has to be low enough to clear the roof.

Cheers Gazza.

Yes the roof operation and the the space taken up are both large considerations on this one, and so compromises are being made.

I currently have a chopped up Fusion 12" sub box in the boot, and whilst it provides good base it takes up far to much room.

I've taken inspiration from this chap's design



But decided to go for a more traditional JBL look with the subs at either end.



The basic enclosure is built now, and fits under the blind. I've gone with a sealed box, walled in the middle to give each sub and exclusive air space as I plan to run from my existing 2 channel amp. No pics until the subs and carpet get here, sorry
