Custom Boot Install

Recommended Posts

I want to do a custom boot install for my two subs which i havnt yet purchased (same with the amp LOL.... at the moment it just a sealed box and 250 amp in the boot) i want it too look good, have functionallity i.e. access to fuses/battery and spare tyre.

Just wondering if anyones could thought up some images to inspire me?

Im thinking of doing it like the dude from sweeden did, subs on the left accept the one on the back would be facing the opposit way so the back of the sub is point out and have the xbox on the right-hand side of the back part of the boot and have the amp mounted on the back peice. Behind perspex or not i havnt really decided...

I think most of it will be fibreglass, but as i said before the most thing i want out of it apart from it looking good is that it has functionallity...

I dont want to get a flat and then spend two hours just getting the tyre out!

Or blow light fuses have have to trash the back of the car cause i cant change them....

Give me you thoughts,

Cheers,

Mitch

:cheers:

tried that 1 doesnt seem to want to

but anyway the best way to complete a boot install is to pay someone else to do it

to create the angles and mounts required for a solid enclosure you will pull your hair out half way through and pay someone to finish it :P

hmmmm, i cant wait to get some spare $$$. ive got my old system from my datto sitting in my room. just waiting so i can do another killer job, dun wanna rush it. want to have excess money so i can take the car off the road and not hafta stop half way cuz i forgot sumthing. the most anoying part is making test box's (it cost me 2 much in MDF) and i dont know how much ill be using. also would like to keep the weight down but again i love my car audio so spare no expense. hmmmm, one way to counter the weight problem is more power.... which means more money... which means less for car audio. damit!!!

2 type-r 12"s

fusion frad 1.5

oddy bat (as extra)

phillips amp 300wrms (gonna sell)

clarion amp 600wrms (gonna sell or keep for splits/6x9's depends how much room i have)

alpine d-class mono 1000wrms amp or 2 d-class mono 550wrms (yet to purchase)

(hu already in) cda-7894 perfect for this install but i may replace with IVA-D300E later as it controlls the amps better.

still havnt made up my mind on cables and i realy wanted to do a ported job but there isnt the space unless i take out the back seat and that kills the perpos of a 4door.

sorry, gettin carried away. *wipes drool off laptop*

but then i dont have functionallity!

I had the same problem, I couldn't really bring myself to sacrifice the space saver, although I doubt when the time comes, I'll trust it enough to actually use it! :confused:

Anywho, after a few attempt, my mate and I managed to come up with a "somewhat" practical design that still leaves access to the space saver.

Basically its just a frame with a top plate that houses the 12" and one of the 3 amps, could easily be designed for 2 subs tho. Bonnet Pins hold the plate tight in place. It's not really designed to be taken off frequently, but the option is there. Once the plate is out, you reach through, undo the space saver and it slides out through the frame.

The panels on the side house the 2 other amps and also leave room for some tool and crap down either side. Took a fair bit of stuffing around (and i'm yet to replace the back plate, but otherwise, it sounds great, doesn't rattle, and i'm quite happy with it.

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
