Nice set up! Very efficent with space, I like how you put the amp on the sub. I see in one of the pics you screwed in the sub?? Isn't there plastic under the cloth? Anyway I assume there was. Great pics!

thanks! - sounds great too! - the box is screw'd down into the part where you open to get the spare tire - so I still have my spare tire in there - so when you open it the box doesn't move and your able to take out the spare tire without have all the cables and sub moving around

Very nice, I like how you have the amp on th side of the box + you still have boot space. AS for me well I have none. Have you changed the HU or is it still stock?

thanks! - I was thinking of adding two more subs inside the sides near the rear speakers - maybe get some custom fiberglass

[thewifesyaris]

you should have faced it toward the left, so that you would be pushing more air not your hatch. thats why in car trunks they mount subs as close as the seat and aim it torwards the trunk where theres air. otherwise cool toys, probably got a lot of bumb to it.

dont have any subs in yet, but i am not going to have any problem with trunk space :) I am going to out one 12" in custom fiberglass in the back corner of my sedan, looks like you guys have plenty of room to make a sealed fiberglass box in pretty much the same place in the liftback, but have not seen inside one in person yet, so not sure how much room there really is, but there is lots of unleased space behind the tires on the sedan.

started my project today, just someteaser pics, to get you all thinking,

area taped off, so you get the idea of the space it will be in


some supplys ready to go


and area fully masked, and ready to apply fiberglass :)

the line is the tentative bottom eadge of the box, to help give idea of size


got everything that is taped off glassed today, and going to pull it out in the morning :) soon ill make my own thread with progress, but just wanted to give a little teaser to you guys with no space in the trunk :)


p.s. i have never done fiberglass work before, and it was actually easier than i expected it was going to be :)

its the closest towards the seat so im able to get open and get my spare tire - if i angle it - it will look retarded and also this is a non-seal'd box - where the opening is on the top - you'll have to hear it first b4 commenting on wether the box should have been placed in a certain direction

JOhnny Five! Any updates on the enclosure!?

just curious, did you try it with the sub firing upwords, with the port firing at the hatch? would it fit? if it would fit, and you havnt tried it you should ;)

i have the mold that fits the car side, but have not started on the front that will hold the sub yet, i am waiting until I order my sub, so i know i wont change my mind, and can make it a perfect fit before i start :)

if you interested in making your own, there are alot of good walkthroughs around, here is one i found most helpful :)

nah I didn't try that - I don't think the box would fit properly - it's made to be against the seat - angle'd
