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.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
