fruity_south Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 firstly please feel free to move this elsewhere if you see fit to. After being tuely inspired my Blackies boot build i was really upset to hear he wasnt doing them anymore. After alot of searching around and not finding anywhere able to match it for price i thought i would give it a go myself. started on monday finnished today. This is what my old boot use to look like. Pretty boring i must admit, though there was alot to try and fit into the same style as blackies old ones including (not pictured) a relocated battery it took alot of planning and a pretty tight fit. These pics show the progress of the build. Monday sorted out the base and sides. and then the middle section. first trial fit, you may notice amps and the battery moving around as i kept finding that the boot lid would hit on some objects. attempt two Tuesday cut the top (lid) to shape and then shaped it for the nos can trial fit i then went and leathered it. Wednesday fitting it back in and wiring it all up The finnished item im pretty happy with it. was a pain wrapping the leather around the cut out for the nos can but we got there in the end. Thanks to Blackie for the encouragement to do it myself and the email supports. hope you apporve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruity_south Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 lol, i never really noticed until you just said. i must admit its not as heavy as i thought it would be. i could lift it in and out single handedly dibbly did you do that yourself cos its pretty sweet. though confused to how your bottles are seccured and where the sub is. nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 whats the deal with the sub? did you get the right cubic volume in the section or was it just dropped in? Im interested to do my own sub enclosure too Looks good tho dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruity_south Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 monsween - the sub encloser has the correct volume for the sub, thats why i put it that side instead fo the other side like in picture "attempt two" the bare side infront of the battery may well have a alloy plac (think thats spelt right) put there, but unsire on what to have engraved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruity_south Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 how can she not like it, is she on drugs or something. my g/f loves the supra, one of the main reasons i bougt one. to be honest jamie its not that heavy as i already said i can lift it in and out on my own with all the amps, sub and nos can attached to it and im a pretty weak guy, no mister mussel or worlds strongest man here.

fruity_south Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 matter is cos its one of the plug and play systems, if i was to do a track day, which is highly unlikely right now seeing as im running an N/A, i could just lift it out in a couple of mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 1" sheet of MDF weighs around 40kg, How much have you used? 1.5 sheets? With the speakers amps and nos bottle i bet there is around 80kg+ in that boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity_south Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 well who knows, when i get a chance ill take it out and weight it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 well who knows, when i get a chance ill take it out and weight it dont be silly, if your happy with it and going slow isnt the be all and end all then thats all that matters, personally, i wouldnt have been able to get past cutting the MDF so good on you!!
