[taylormade93]

Hi Guys,
This is what boot boot install currently looks like:

But i want it to look something like this:

Is anyone able to send me a "how to" guide for doing this or linking me to where one is? i searched but couldnt find anything. Will it be as simple as getting the plywood cutting holes for th subs then angle the subs with wood underneath them, or will they need to come out of their boxes?
Just want the false wall not the amp mounted on the side, thinking of mounting it to the back of the seats?
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

hey mate that's my old commodore looks good yeah...was a bit of surprise to see it there.

i had a friend build the whole boot install for me.

but it wasn't as simple as just cutting wood and making holes, we used MDF wood, not plywood. we made templates from cardboard, before we cut any wood at all so we knew what fit where.

but since you only really want the back wall part, which was the most easiest part of the install it should not be to hard if you have the right tools and knowledge on this sort of stuff.

the subs are made into a custom box we built, so if you want to go with this install you will need to take them out of there boxes.

something like this but just the parts where the subs are?

i built this for mine wasnt to hard took about 2 weeks but just got mdf and carboard boxes from work to make templates then built wall and side faces then later built boxes around them i have an lpg tank behind the wall thats why i put the subs on the sides the third sub will soon be sunk down into the spare tyre well with perspex over the top so i have atleast some boot space.

whats the bars over the subs for?

stops anything in the boot smashing through the speaker cone , similar to the grill on any speaker

and i had another better looking grill on there to find a day later that it had broken and was jammed between itsself and my sub really should stop gunning it around corners lol

urs could b done quite simple and easy if u dont wanna take up 2 much boot space. heres mine

as u can see really theres not alot of curvature work required and if u only have the 1 amp from wat i can see u should have planty of room 2 put 1 in the middle of the 2 subs?

 

[taylormade93]

That looks sweet mate, how'd ya do it?
Yeah only have the one amp!
Cheers

pretty much centred the sub box and screwed a block of timber on either side of the sub box 4 the false walls 2 screw 2 which follows the same angle on the sub boxes face, then got some 3mm mdf i had laying around (cardboard would b cheaper if u have 2 go buy it) and pretty much measured from the box 2 the wheel well humps and just did some rough sketches, trial and error cut and fit with the jigsaw until it fit the shape of the boot. made some cut outs 4 the gas struts on the false walls and thats pretty much it. As bu can see its really only the drivers side that needs the most work, the passenger doesnt need much shaping. mine was a nice snug fit so nothing moves either way which is good.

i also hinged the floor so it could lift up infront of the set up 4 the spare tyre 2 come out 2. this is the 2nd time its been recovers tho since i upgraded my system so the old covering i had on had 2 come off which was just ur coloured hood lining stuff but now its got high grade pool table cloth only coz i had mountains of the stuff at my old work haha

would have done more but i use the boot 2 much so needed the most space i could get and yeah this seemed simple and effective.


Edit: 4got 2 mention i only used 9mm MDF board 4 the amps 2 mount 2 as thats all that was needed, used the 3mm board after gettin the shaping right and then just transfered the cut out onto the 9mm board.
