    Default Gas Tanks vs Boot Installs?

    Anyone who knows me, knows I love my music. I have 2x Pioneer 12" Subs in my boot, with an Audioline 4ch Amp (just behind dickie seat). How would I be able to get away with having a Gas Tank if I was to get Gas connected?

    i'd be nice if they could do like a flatish oval tank, then you could put it to the rear of the boot... but then it would obstruct your spare tire.

    same as i dont think they would make a tank to sit long ways

    its either holden need to make a better boot, or gas tanks needed to be designed better to be shoved right up to the back seats i used to have a ford on gas and shit i had that much room in it i was like sweet. looked at the gas tank in the back of my holden thats getting gas fitted right now and its not exactly roomy

    ahhh yeah thats right.

    The box that holds my subs comes back to about there in my boot, so I guess the only way to have subs with LPG is 10" in the parcel shelf like Hozy?

    haha very straight to the point. mat remember that the box can be almost anyshape espicially if sealed, so just disigh a box to sit over/around the tank. remember that you might need to get to the tank one day so keep that in mind.

    LoL!

    I got no subs.... No need for them yet, My system rebuild suits me plenty.

    As for the messy wiring, Oh well shit happens... It's not a proper install yet... I need to get some more 10mm mdf...

    False wall, Better trimming, Hiding 100% wiring...

    But all will come in good time with money.

    dude wagons come with DONUT type gas tanks only 55litre but yeh theres no spare wheel then but u have claimed all your boot space
    costs an extra 200-400 for that type of tank
    i was going to get it for my sedan but im like why bother lose a bit of gas 20 litres or so
    but eh i only have 1 sub n an amp so once i get the gas installed i will reorganise my sub and amp setup..
    going to set the amp flush under the parcel shelf
    unsure about the sub
    might make a lil smaller box
