    Default Boot install Design. vr commodore

    hey guys.

    just having some trouble planning and designing my boot install.

    was wondering if any of you lads could help me out. my car is on lpg so i dont have a lot of room to play with. i have 2 sets of subs. so i want to keep that interchangable. but the main components are those pictured.

    The boot.








    The components









    at the moment i am thinking a false floor or a wall to block out the gas tank and mounting the subs either side. probably outside so i can adjust settings etc.


    hope you guys can help me out cheers guys.

    How about false floor with the amps mounted in it, and a clear perspex window to protect the amps? You could mount some LEDs in it if you wanna get fancy. Then maybe wall up in front of the gas tank with a sub in each corner (tank side not tail light side). Just a suggestion..

    Just for extras, I had just made a sub box to sit where your lpg tank is with a false wall and the subs sound crap, turned out they weren't coming back into the cabin or something so had to place it lower, so you prob won't get the best with the lpg tank blocking 'sound waves'???

    Yea, that would be good, I think i've got the wrong picture too,I made a sub box to fit on the hump in the boot and goto each strut tower with the front of it acting as a false wall and the subs facing the rear seats.

    looks cool as, but.....It sounds like crap. Now I worked out that 2 different subs isn't helping my solution, so for the time being i've put a single box in on the floor and it sounds mint. gonna make a post about it now.
