Leon Boot installs - lemme see urs

[Pabs]

ok guys

I am in need of inspiration, and hopefully someone to advise me on where i can get it made....

I am doing a new boot install. Now, this is NOTHING bling/full-on, a great example of something similar to what I am after is in Petes (ICEMAN)s missus' Leon.....

I want to have as much bootspace left as possible. For ICE, I will have 1 10" subwoofer and 1 physically small amplifier (something just enough to power the sub - nothing major just cheapish)

I wanted a stealthbox made by Auto Acoustics. However, after emailing them they state it definately WILL NOT fit into my car as I have the rear-strut brace fitted. (As in RobDons) I struggle to believe them as from the pics on their website it looks like it will fit - however they will not supply dimensions so I am a bit stuck.

Perhaps if someone on here has one they could let me know?

Other than that, can u post up ur pics of ur install (I am not really interested in boots FULL of ICE, just stealthy ones.
cheers all

That install might actually be for sale, CupraRrog off here bought it off me but he has sold his R now and might still have the boot build.

hmmmm i need a boot install i like that but would have to cover the sub holes and replace with my 10's.....

might pm the man in question

 

[Pabs]

any more people out there? Surely Pete isnt the only one with a stealthy install?

I have not got the ability or time to do it myself - i will have to go to one of those pro ICE installers and get them to do one based on my ideas. Not sure how much they will charge tho

What dimensions are you after for the stealthbox?

 

[Pabs]

basically, if u have a look at this picture:
www.btinternet.com/~twister9/rearbrace/whole.jpg

and this one:

www.btinternet.com/~twister9/rearbrace/side3.jpg

These show my rear brace - the brace itself is pretty much directly above the carpet button that holds the carpet to the side of the car.

Does the sub box cover this? How far away is it from this button? If it doesnt cover it, then in theory it should fit.
cheers buddy

oh, and thats a 12" sub u got yeh? I want to mount a small amp to the subbox itself if possible...

 

[Ju.]

I'll nip out and take a look at the box now

Yeah its a 12" sub (infinity vq) , no room on the box to fit an amp though!!

 

[Pabs]

i am planning on a 10" version... and a small amp.... might be lucky.

 

[Ju.]

Box stops 60mm to the left of that carpet plug

Hope that helps

[Pabs]

6cm to the left - ie it should have plenty of space then!

Matey, u r a STAR. Think I might risk ordering one at some point - auto acoustics are obvioulsy talkin out their arses again!

By the way, what do u hold it onto the side of the car with - the supplied velcro or something a bit stronger? And I assume u dont use ur boot light anymore?

 

[Ju.]

It's held in with the supplied velcro, but it fell over a few times and is now minus the perspex cover , but it's stayed put now for a few months

Sounds nice though, much better than the previous standard box I had.

I wired an "iceled tron" as a boot light cos as you say , the original one is covered!

hmmmm, it seems to me that its the best option for my car - however i dont like the price (although we do get 10% discount due to scn )
I shall have to have a think about it.. but thanks for ur help.

 

[Ju.]

no probs

 

[Pabs]

sh*te, didnt realise website prices were EX vat as well....

£150notes..... hmmm, wonder if i can find anything else out there...

 

[Scotty_b]

love the look of that pete, just how id want mine but id want to keep the spare wheel, maybe have it on show!

 

[Pabs]

scotty - thats my thoughts too - want to keep the spare really. Not sure why, i just do. I want my install to be very simple and OEM looking really.

 

[Scotty_b]

A cross to RobDons and petes i would say, i want to show off my 18 inches!

Got no subs and amp tho!

Have been quted 1k for everything, subs amps and full stealth install
