Sub on parcel shelf

[mds1256]

i have seen some where on this forum (i have searched and cannot find it again) where some one has attached a sub and amp to the bottom of a wood parcel shelf so it takes no room up, can any one help me find this post?

Sounds like a terrible idea to me tbh...although good luck thread hunting...

Oh my god i can just imagine my car audio buddy screaming and crying with shock at the thought of that!! That may look good and save room but your probably gonna sacrifice descent sound

Seen it done in a Mk2 Golf and the sound was horrible. Really flappy, nasty bass and actually by the time you'd got the sub magnet dropping from the parcel shelf it really impeded the boot aperture (unless you were planning some funky lifter trick using a piston arm).

I used to have one years ago in a fiesta, it was fitted by an ICE shop and the sub was matched to the area of the boot iirc.
The boot was dynamatted too and the sound was awesome.

Was the parcel shelf fixed or was it vibrating around somewhat??

There was indeed someone on the site who had done it - I saw the posting about a month ago. Try typing in parcel shelf and see what happens.

Where do Audi stick the Bose ones? that might be a good spot to have one

Hi Guys

It was me who did the sub on the shelf. Like in the thread i posted replies about my reasons for placing the sub where i did. The thing sounds fantastic just where it is, im really happy with the install. If the parcel shelf is good enough for Audi and B&O it was good enuf for me (provided the shelf was strong enough, and secured when the boot closed. Which it is). Hope it was helpful mds, i can tell you it does work and you get left with a fully accesible boot, if done correctly.

Cheers

The Bose sub (and indeed the standard fit sub) is mounted behind the trim on the left-hand side of the boot

I have been wondering about a sub myself / speaker upgrade, but my boot has to be fully accessable for things like shopping and the Dog.... hence the question

nope, it was an acoustic shelf which iirc was about £100 alone and it weighed so much it was not going anywhere
