Boot Floor.

[CraigW]

Does anyone know the dimensions of the boot floor??

Not the lower bit in the middle but from the highest point.

Also what would be the best use of space when installing 2 amps and 2 subwoofers.

And removing the back seats is not a viable option as i need to carry passengers to work. Well the days i drive.

I'd do it like this:

But put two subs in and two amps in the same way

That looks quite good, any similar ways i could do it but with the subs mounted magnet out and at an angle??

Lol, that second one looks awful im affriad.

if you still want the exact dimensions, pm GM8 off of here, he has a pre-made false floor

not a Mk2, but the boot in my old Mk3 (same size as Mk2)

 

[Mckellar]

neat, although the fabric must be hard to keep the same colour from brushing your finger off it, like a carpet

 

[andyj]

you guessed it !!!

This is probably a daft question but what the hell, how did you get MDF to do that sort of taper round the corners at the top?

 

[andyj]

read through the link I've posted to the build diary thread....

I used MDF for the main panel, and then used P40 and filler to form the rounded corners you can see

the rounded corners were a proper PITA to trim though !!! lol

 

[Kai_1600]

I did read through the build thread :$



I might have another go at reading later with my eyes open

 

[andyj]

ah, for some reason the pics of the side panel build are missing......

will try and fix that during the day today !!

 

[andyj]

Just rehashed the pics, pages 3/4

 

[Mckellar]

nice progress page there Andy.

is that a mk3 cupra the build was in?

 

[andyj]

Loved that car, but had to sell it to fund a deposit on a house....

Seems strange to say, but I preferred it to the LCR, it was more 'chuckable'

 

[CraigW]

The second one does look awful, maybe if it was made from mdf it would look better.

my main concern is just space really, trying to fit 2 subs and 2 amps into the space.

Going to have a read through the build thread just to get abit of an idea n that.

 

[Mckellar]

do you need your back seats? if not, then you could make a proper full on build.

2 subs and 2 amps in the small boot is a bit too much id say

Yep i need the back seats.

Use my car once/twice a week to work and theres 3 in the car, me plus 2 passengers.

I will try and work a way around it, if not i might just run 1 sub and 1 amp

With the bass frequencies being omnidirectional surely one sub that size will be enough? Unless you wanted two for the aesthetics??

Please explain that in simple terms, i aint really on the ball tonight and didn't really follow that.
