Check out my subwoofer install (pics inside)

[91GTTurbo]

This is EXACTLY what I want to have done for the trunk of my car, all that wasted space, perfect for a 'glass enclosed sub. Kudos man, karma to you!

[jlpicard6]

Yep, 51 in Jan, and I love these cars, what I am learning here, and the members here! Bunch of frickin kids! Just kidding. The guys wow me every day I am here with the stuff they come up with on these little cars. I have 5 of them now, three licensed and on the road, two for parts.

That Sub-Woofer install IS really nice, and I completely understand your response.

Very nice work. It appears that we think alike except i've been lazy. I'm in the process of doing my trunk almost the same way and have had plans to do the door panels like that for a longgg time now. I

Its nice to see someone else who has done it now, so i know what i'm up against. I took a look at your door panels thread. have you taken any more pictures of the insides of the door? interested in the mounting points and such.

Thanks Gabe17, great minds think alike.

With the pics of the inner door skins, I have a few more but not of the actual mounts.
If I get time this weekend I might pull 1 of the trims off.
Take some some pics and add them to my door trims thread.

I have been meaning to recover the passenger side anyway.
The pics in the thread are of my drivers side which I did second (second one is always better)

[Gabe17]

yeah because you know what your doing then and can improve on it lol. my trunk is a slow process since im a bit of a perfectionist myself. I'm doing a different layout since i have different plans. subs up against the back with this plexi window i had made from my other car, recessed hinges on the flooring covered with some subwoofer box carpet i picked up from crutchfield. Then my capacitor on the right with my battery installed in this plastic vented battery box i picked up so it'll be legal when i'm at the strip. I'm in the beginning stages so I'll have to remember to take pictures

looks good

[hectical]

Yo! that looks sick man. awesome work!

[zlyricist]

from what i understand lower frequencies arent like higher frequencies in the direction or way that they travel..... that being said, is it easy to tell when listening to it that the sub woofer is mounted on the driver side of the vehicle?

[mx_masta]

Thanks for the bumpage guys.

No it's not on the drivers side since Australians drive on the correct side of the road.

Hehe no seriously I would always put the driver on the passenger side of the boot / truck.
So as to benefit form bass loading, which tells ud that the longest path to the listener has the least cancellation.

It is possible to get slightly higher SPL from mounting the driver facing the rear of the boot / trunk.
But that is less attractive to me because it is less practical (takes up more of the useable boot space)
and also because response is usually less linear that way.

wow looks clean! wheres the amp at?

[penning10]

I have to say, that is a quality job. The subs sit in a perfect, out of the way position and the floor of the trunk look solid (unlike the stock flooring above the spare). Pat yourself on the back as you deserve it!

[mx_masta]

wow looks clean! wheres the amp at?

On the back of one of the rear seats.
I thought it would be temporary but it's not bothering me where it is, so thats where it will stay for now.

[4cylfun]

alright, using your method i'm going to attempt to do this. However i would like some plexi in front of the sub for protection. I hate grilles as well. So would like some plexi and cutting gaps in it work you think or would that f' up the sound.

Feel free to PM me if you don't want to add here.

[endymion]

i am pretty sure the plexi won't mess the sound up. just make sure it doesn't rattle, that would be annoying.
