Bepe · Post by **Bepe** » Sun Dec 30, 2007 5:11 pm

only took me a day at most, not bad for a 1st attempt

started with this mess:

then i needed the floor raising slightly:

made a template for the floor, and mesured the back:

when i was happy with the fit i wacked it in:

then i removed it and added some carpet:

carpeted my sub box, fitted sub, wired everything in put sub box in car and ended up with this:

any questions, comments, critism welcome

thanks

My only problem with that first build is that the sub aint got that much air to pump its bass...

I went for the easy option of driving 3 hours to manchester to have this done which took 3 weeks

modifiedmadness its a very nice build u got but im curious about something, how easy is it to change a bulb if one goes? do u still have your spare wheel in the boot? i wanna do one but these are the 2 main things that concern me.......

I just bought one of these babys:

Easily removed, and maximum power from a fairly compact active sub

It sorta got to the point where the doors were shaking so much its just awful lol

Bulbs are still easily changed, the 2 side panels come out as does the back panel. The whole install was built so it can be removed if I wish.

I don't have a spare wheel anymore no, the box goes right into the wheel well

Hope that helps mate.
