keancy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Got a question for ya mate, how much weight did that lot add to the rear of your car?? Only with the Lane I live on I have terrible trouble with grounding the Exhaust when I have a full tank of petrol and someone else in the car, so adding that bit of extra weight may not do me any favours!

Blackie Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 how did you fix the box into the car? Gravity. I have left the spare wheel in there as i have designed the box to be easily removed. but i fold the rear seat down to "Unlock the box" as the rear seat, joined with the rear of the car, holds it in place. I also left the carpet in to stop any viberations. It doesent move about or bounce about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Good job Bud. Knowing what you do for a living adds insight to the skills used. All in all though, there'll be a few people kickin' themselves for spending loads more to get those results mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 andrew OW if you get stuck on fiberglassing give me a shout Thank you! I will give this a go when the weather improves. I've got my eye on a new amp and 12" sub, which would go great in a 'decent' custom built boot, as long as I can still get the roof in there too!

JustGav Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 By the looks of it, you are using a sealed box? Did you use any batting, if not try and get some old pillows and try using the filling (cotton ones, no bird feathers) and see how it sounds....
