very nice mate, i like it!

still weighing up my options for what im going to do...

 

[Icecavern]

Skorchio, that looks pretty good! Nice work! I've been thinking of making one similar to James tdi and icecaverns - to sit on the l/h/s of the boot as you look at it. Havent yet because I want to think of someway to secure it but make sure I could still access the spare if needed.

The one I built bolts to the side of the car. No problems getting to the spare, the boot carpet is still flexible enough to move out of the way.

Thanks Guys,

Yeh accessing the space was a big part of my plan, i wanted it to look nice but still be practical.

Send Ice and James a PM im sure they will be happy to help.

Nah i like to eat people who ask me for help.
But since im full.

I bought the sub amp and box off here for about £80, the box is an auto acoustics stealth box, and there is a small piece of carpeted mdf on the side of it to fill up the space.

I have secured it in with alot of industrial velcro, now i drive like a loony as you may have seen on the M4 and it hasnt come unstuck yet

but if you give it a good yank then it will come out for access to spare wheel

And in an accident the sub box will be lunching on the back of your head... Bolt 'em down people...

For sheer tidiness and OEMness this is my fave.

not sure if ill keep it like that for too long, sheer lack of spare wheel is annoying.

maybe just 6x9s?!

The one I did for the wife in her Leon

Mmm, yes please!!

 

[Icecavern]

I could be persuaded to make some more of those, however they wont be that cheap. If interested feel free to create another post in the ICE section rather than clog up this thread.

tbh not fussed im quite care free about stuff like that if im gonna die im gonna die id have to be pretty unlucky for a sub box to rip the velcro pop up over the rear seats and smack me square in the back of the head.

Im not saying it cant or wont happen but still ....

Velcro holds nothing in an impact, it'll go straight through the seats not over them, and I assume you never carry passengers?

 

[carew]

Mmm, yes please!!

thats very neat and tidy.

whats the little digital display for??

 

[Icecavern]

It's a voltage meter, had a couple not being used to put one in for show.
