R33 Boot Install, That Cheap Board Flexes Alot!

[nsta]

Hey guys, just recently aquired a really good setup for my r33, and have been doing alot of wiring etc in the past few days....now ive come to a big hurdle....basically ive found that in a r33 the spare tire pretty much supports the things you put in your boot(directly above it)

I removed my spare, and put back the existing shelf(which is very thin and cheap material), and was hoping to put my sub/amp on top...it just flexes, and i dare not try putting it there without holding onto my sub/amp as i think the flimsy shelf board for the base of the boot would snap in half....

i need some ideas on what i should do, i was thinking of just mdf"ing the whole boot as one tray from end to end???.,......and then carpeting it, that way ill have solid support for my fairly heavy sub woofer......

what have others done on this forum to make up for the poor tray in the boot that supports everything you put in there.

pulled the tire out and had a custom one built.... not as hard as it looks... had the sides of teh box moulded to the shape of the tyre whell..... bit of sound dedening and work on a jig saw and i had a board cut out and placed around it.... worth the extra effort.

can get extra pics if needed
