Boot install pics

[goldstar0011]

Can people post / send me pics of boot installs and progress ones, I'm looking for ideas and techniques of what to do and keep it tidy.

MDF? Fibreglass? What type of thing are you after, and what equipment are you using (number of subs, amps, etc)?

Cheers

I might have a chance to get some photos of mine tomorrow!

Edit: This probably should be moved into the relevant forum.

Firstly, my rear seats are out so what I've done / doing is using the seat brackts, made a frame to mount a floor on. On this will sit the sub. The amp is under another floor in spare wheel well.

But this will look a tad basic and boring so looking to spice it up

 

[goldstar0011]

My main concern is getting the wood to mount/fix to the actual car, I know I car use existing holes but like the pics below (Gavs) I want "shelves" along the side, just not the centre part (not yet).

 

[goldstar0011]

This is the sorta thing I want, but it's starting, how do you get a level false floor and make sure its secure?

 

[G_Man]

hey thats my car :O

 

[goldstar0011]

Couldn't remember you'r new name as it's labelled as micramans bruvva on my comp!

Do you have anymore pics?
Am interested in seeing how you covered the sides up

 

[goldstar0011]

Until I can afford the materials and get an idea I like I've done this

 

[joe boy micra]

i have a mk 4 ford fiesta and to square of the sides i used mdf. ive not finished doin it yet i have two pics or it in progress if that can help ya.

 

[goldstar0011]

Please, I'd like any pic at all of boot installs etc

 

[G_Man]

i didnt finish that haha, i got bored of it and ut the rear seats back in and i nw have this....

 

[goldstar0011]

Looks different to one above!
Anymore pics, different angles and inside?

 

[G_Man]

it is a different one bud, i got the back seats in now

 

[goldstar0011]

I'm assuming to have the 2 subs like that you had to make sure boot is enclosed and secure, how you go about that?

 

[Retepetsir]

I'll put a picture up of my old install in a minute......

For the false floor and sub boxes, you must make sure everything is secured down properly. Basically, you need to bolt it to the car body. I've used bolts through the boot floor to hold my false floor base down. Things like velcro, etc are just not strong enough, especially in a crash situation.

 

[goldstar0011]

Cheers, the false floor is my main concern, I want one to cover the entire boot and rear passenger seats but to also fit around all the side fixtures, but it's finding best ways to make sure it's level, once done I'm sure i can do all I need as I'd have a stable base!

 

[Retepetsir]

The only way I could fit in 3 amps, and active crossover plus a custom ported subwoofer was as follows:

My new install is a lot more simple, exchanging the 3 amps for one 5-channel (large!) amp plus a better source unit. I've not had time to trim the boot, and am going to make a fibreglass subwoofer box which sits in the left wheel arch, but here is my present install (amp hidden under false floor - will get pictures soon):

 

[goldstar0011]

It's making the side boxes I'll have trouble with, don't get me wrong I can make a box but getting it to look like that and be as sturdy as it looks.......hummmm

If you have your subwoofer facing upwards do not put speakers on your shelf and run them IB as the air movement from the sub will push the cones around of shelf speakers.

First thing I did with my boot install was move the sub around to find the best position for the subwoofer, as this can make a lot of difference. I've only got a false floor in atm, as I'm working on a stealth install, atm I'm working on my stealth shelf.

I can get you some photo's when I get home.

 

[goldstar0011]

Cheers Alienfish360

Pics of your false floor would be handy

 

[Alienfish360]

IIRC I have photos during build so you can see the build process.

 

[SR_Micra_Boy]

Lol, gmans install is my old one which i sold to him when i stripped the car (well the woodwork etc, they are his subs and amp)

 

[goldstar0011]

Didn't know that!

Old Thread i know but what exhaust is that? looks and fits just right..any info would be appreciated

 

[Skinner_87]

Looks alot like the janspeed back box mate, hand one on my first micra

 

[r-reg-sr]

Could be universe one?

 

[Skinner_87]

This is the one I had, might be a bit small come to think of it, as RReg says a universal perhaps

 

[R3H4N]

aah after seeing the pic i want one lol..even if i can get the size on the tip il just get a universal one of that size, Janspeed are good but pretty pricey i remember buying a Janspeed back box for my ae82 gt cost em an arm and a leg,apparently they're rare ?

 

[Skinner_87]

P

apparently they're rare ?

Janspeed back boxs should be available off the shelf mate

 

[R3H4N]

P

Janspeed back boxs should be available off the shelf mate

is there a website? or should i just stick with a universal?

 

[Skinner_87]

is there a website? or should i just stick with a universal?

Any janspeed stockist bud universal would be a 1/3 of the price

 

[r-reg-sr]

welding cost may not delightful on uni one

 

[micra 2000]

this was an install i done 11years ago in an mgzr in the boot i had a tv tuner and amp,2 x 10disc multiplay changers in the drivers side panel a 10" sub ,under the cover on the left i had a bridged alpine amp for the sub and 1.5farad power cap

the floor was still removeable to have access to the spare
