practical boot install

[05 Senator]

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone had some pics of a good vy/vz boot install were you can still access your spare tyre ect. I've been thinking of some ideas but i would like to see some set ups that have been done already. Ive currently got 2 subs and an amp installed on a dual box but want something more permanent and with a second amp for my speakers. If anyone with a similar set up that can access their spare could put some pics up it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Joe

its easy, put amps behind the back seats on the metal/carpet

Got any pics? Coz i was thinking of getting 2 slim line subs and putting in a bit of mdf to cover the back seats with everything mounted on that. maybe throw in some neons for wank factor. all carpeted obviously to look legit

put ur amps here

and as for the sub/s put them where the wheel goes and all you have to do is un plug the wire from the box terminal and take the box out then you can get to ur spare wheel

this is what i got with 1 sub and i can still take it out but i need 2 ppl coz my box is big and heavy but yeah u get the idea

[Nic92]

or if you dont want a huge box in the middle of the boot, you can always get boxes like these NEW VY VZ Holden Commodore Fibreglass Enclosure (eBay item 190517826446 end time 06-Apr-11 18:27:19 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

this is one of my previous installs


still had full access to the spare, sub on the right, and you could always put your second sub on the left where i had my changer

that does look pretty good ^

hey guys thanks for the pics. sorry i kind of forgot i posted this as i was a fair bit intoxicated when i did it lol. i have to wait til i can borrow a trailer so i can go out of town for some supplies.

as for having it so i can just lift the box out when need be. i could jus take the wires off my amp cause there mounted on my current box. bit awkward with 2 subs as its also big and heavy.

Practical enough for you?

Man that would have been like a bloody jigsaw puzzle by the looks of things haha!

The girlfriend loves tetris lol. Theres also two dogs and two cats in the cabin aswell

I'll post up mine in the next few days, my monoblock isn't mounted properly yet but you'll get the idea. Basically a dual 10" sub enclosure up against the rear of the back seats, firing toward the boot lid, 4 channel on the back of the box, tuning can be done through the cabin side of the ski hole, monoblock on the side of the boot. everything still accessible and tuning is still easy.

My monoblock is mounted upside down on the underside of the parcel shelf. I had to stick my head in to tune it but it only needed to be done once. It's very much out of the way and looks neat

thats how iv done mine, mounted under the parcel shelf, keeps it away from theft i guess... and less chance of being bashed about or taking up boot space

[wrx884]

heres my basic set up altho not a VY but the boot space is practically the same and i only have the 1 sub but can easily fit 2 if i turn the amps vertically. I didnt wanna screw into the car at all but wanted the most space possible, even put in a piano hinge just infront of the sub so u can lift the lid and get the spare out. i can fit a mower, whipper snipper ect... in at the same time lol

i know this is an old thread but damn some of those set ups in the last post look sweet!
iv currently got a pretty hefty box, roughle 300x400x600 i think it is with two 12" 300W (continuous) Clarions runnning off two 55wrms response amps single port box and does alright but if popped a few fuses and half melted the fuse enclosure cos im running off 8guage i think with one 60Amp fuse...
so im thinkin about changing things up a bit.. maybe keeping both amps, selling subs and box and trying something new..
im not sure if its been done before or if it will evn work but does anyone know if this would work:
1 12" sub something 1000-3000W sub but mounting it in the middle section where the boot hole is in the back seats (VX commodore)
i was thinkin maybe even one of those Square Kicker subs cos ther pretty damn good. but to make sure i can still close the middle seat set it back a little bit on mdf or something solid.
so the boot will almost act as a box i guess... but im not sure how effective this will be or if it will evn work at all cos iv removed the 6X9 plates in my parcel shelf so compression will also be pretty minimized...
anyone got any ides?

running two "300watt" 12" subs off 55watts, rms is pretty bloody under powered...id be getting a two channel 2x250rms amp or something see how that goes at driving them, providing that the subs are capable of handle 250rms...

also what does continuous mean? rms?

Ive mounted all my amps under the parcel shelf as well and it goes good there, Dont lose any boot space whatsoever...
