Sub Project

[HerrTrigger]

Working on getting a sub into the back of my Yaris SE, but not wanting to go overboard or take up much space or lose my spare. A friend advised me that as long as I isolate the noise in front of the speaker from the noise in back, I can essentially make the entire space under the trunk floor the enclosed space of a sub box.

I ordered the wires and some of that roadkill sound deadening. I have a Kicker Comp CVT 10 (used) which is a shallow mount sub that can handle the "infinite baffle" install. An Alpine V-Power MRP-1000 amp (used). I just got to work on the mdf.








this last picture the plate is upside down from how it will be oriented in the car.

The top piece will be the new floor and hold a grate of some kind to let the sounds through but not my stuff. The bottom piece will be mostly for more rigidity and a greater thickness to make a better seal along the edge. I will take the old box the sub came with and cut out the current mounting board that works just fine and cut it out and glue it to the bottom. should be enough room for the 15mm of travel of the sub and not touch the spare tire at all.

next up is gluing it all together and working out how to seal off the front area with a vertical board that the new trunk floor can pivot and rest on and still seal up.

Let me know your thoughts or concerns as I kinda work all this out as I go.
