Boot installs

[RobsyUK]

There was someone who had a mild sound system installed in their saloon boot with allow spare wheel on show. Anyone done something similar?

Could you upload your boot pics here so I could have some ideas please

[TurboDan]

I think you mean Knuckles Cav turbo if I remember right

[TurboDan]

Actually this is how his looks right now so might not have been him:

I was trying to find a way to do it... So this is a huge help
I had thought about converting to a cage underneath like the French hatchbacks have...
Might give something like this a go instead...

[Hayward691]

I assume the bit on the boot lid is a custom piece..

[TurboDan]

All of it is custom.

[RobsyUK]

Dan I do like that but I prefer the one with the wheel on show.

[TurboDan]

Yeah i know the one you mean and i can picture it in my head but i cant remember whos car it was, i'm sure it was a turbo off CTOC

Another one here:

I do like that dan but theres no buggy space.

What I'm thinking of doing in mine, Is using a free air sub. and Have a base board mounted behind the rear seats.
That way you get full use of the boot space, I've already mounted my Amp

[Hayward691]

Is that a fiberglass rear shelf??
After this thread and reading many others on other sites...
I have decided to redo my install... Lol

[HAIRIBO]

I made custom End caps for the amp so the wires are hidden, I used a crunchy nut corn flake packet to make rough shape, then fibreglassed it, The shelf is the standard fibre board, I cut cut a hole in middle for the amp, and retrimmed it.

[TurboDan]

That looks cool

I did this in my Viceroy in the late 80s before everyone started installing. 2x12" subs firing straight at the seat back, with a little air gap between. There was no bulkhead, just the frame that held the seat foam, which kind of turned into one big sub, lol. It was mad, there was nothing like it locally

Viceroy ftw

Mine

[northern lad]

mine in my previous vec c, will be starting my cav build soon

[HAIRIBO]

I like those two,

[RobsyUK]

I do prefer the suttle hiden ones.

I do prefer the suttle hiden ones.

are you saying my vectra one wasnt subtle? lol to be fair the mirrored paned just lifted out (was only 1" thick) and I could use a different fabric instead of the camo, might try and adapt it for the cavs boot

[RobsyUK]

Northern, not at all. Just considering having a little base - just to improve sound but at the same time having a working boot.

ah right to be fair it didnt take up that much room (depth of a sub box) but if youre just after a nice addition to a system a lot of the guys on the celica gt4 forums are using the bose wheel well subs that just fit in the spare wheel, out of a mazda 6 iirc, you can get them on ebay for about 50 quid?

Rob, go onto CTOC, member projects, and look for Cazas WIP thread, go to page one in this thread and about half way down, has exactly what your looking for, hope this helps .Ads
