If it's a small puncture you can use Tyre-Weld (or a similar inflator-sealer), and you can drop in a bottle of puncture guard stuff but that's kinda messy.

Hmm, yeah I'd rather have my spare in the boot. Means I have less boot space with my subbie over it (and means I have to unscrew mounting brackets and amp wires to get to it, but at least I have that option).

hey guys

just an update, not much work has gone on since i last posted. been strung up with work.

just finished cutting and shaping the false floor, still need surrounds that go where the boot arms close through and vinyl up the whole lot but these pics should give u some idea of what i got so far.

its a practical 3 piece floor design so i can still access my spare tyre, and have my amp hidden as well as a 3rd spare compartment which i will prob use as a stash space for jumper leads or something.

Your installs coming along nicely cheez! I was thinking of doing something similar in my R34. At the moment I've just got a off-the-shelf box with a 15". Serves its purpose for now, but I want to go to a pair of 12s just for the tighter response of the 12" driver.

Just a thought at the moment (I'm yet to measure up and determine feasiblity): I was thinking of using a MDF wall in the same section as what you have, maybe a little further back...but then mount a prefab fibreglass enclosure to it. Something similar to the 12" Dual Fibreglass Enclosure from this ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com.au/Karatan-Enclosures That way it creates a nice clean look that using a wall set up gives, and also gives a custom install look with the fibreglass.

Any thoughts on that? Just something I thought of when I saw those prefab enclosures on ebay. It's not completely DIY, but it saves a lot of mucking around with fibreglass, specially when I haven't had ANY experience with fibreglassing yet.

As for the floor I was looking at going a multiple piece floor to be able to access the compartments and spare tyre. As for the amplifier I was thinking of mounting it in a fixed section of the floor under some plexi.

Nice work man! wow thats awesome.

Im abit upset you didnt give me a personal PM with your progress but ill let it slide haha.

Now to copy :D

i was going to but i got side tracked yet.. but you see it now.. copy away

  • 1 month later...

this leaves absolutely no room for anything in the boot, but its a cool setup....

the sub enclosure is also completely moulded into the spare wheel well

but due to lack of boot space and lack of spare wheel, i have removed this enclosure and is sitting in my garage. so if anyone wants the enclosure, PM me and we can discuss pick up and price etc
