i always wanted to do a trunk subwoofer mod type thing but never knew were to start if your local to d.c. i would love to do the same thing to my max at the same time.

good luck with your trunk ...


P.S. i had the same idea of building a false floor with access to my spare.

 

use 3/4" MDF on the box. everything else can be thinner. i'd not sure about the plexi thickness, but it has to be thick enough not to flex.

i was working on a false floor with fiberglass, with everything enclosed inside the false floor. i finished it almost, but i didn't like the extra weight it put on the car. (i was using a 15")

 

yep 3/4" MDF is the way to go... thats what mine is made of,
the stuff is strong!!!!

for the glue, use Liquid Nails @ The home depot, good stuff

as for plexy..well, its expensive, so just get what u think is good. I got 1/4" for me, but thats just for the amp rack, for a box, i would recommend 1/2", but its not cheap!

 

ok so...3/4 for the box...liquid nails from home depot...and i guess 1/2 inch for the rest(amp racks and such)...how bout the floor...plexi i knew was gonna be expensive..but i will do it...i was thinkin of usin 1/4 for the sub encloser...(when you fold down the seats...you see plexiw...thats the back side of the box...)...thanks for everything guys...please advise!!!!!

 

probably no less than 1/2" of plexi. 1/4 is way too thin to match up with 3/4 mdf. for some ideas check my setup out. i was thinking of the plexi on the back of the box for when you open the trunk, but it didn't materialize. good luck.

ok so i guess 1/2 inch plexi...3/4 mdf(box)...1/2 inch for everything else....liquid nails(home depot..and a lot of time...right? anyone have any ideas what to do for night(to show off the trunk!!!)...i was thinking a hyper white bulb in the corners(where the tails are, but on the inseide) on a switch...shold that be good...or should i just have my blue neons everywhere!!!! thanks guys for all your help...i reall really appericate it!!!!

 

i have neons hidden on top a 24" and 12" for each amp, check my homepage
<~~~~~~

just throw some LEDs everywhere with neons =]

those are good materials,
oh, also, there is a spray made by 3M, there is a red and a green bottle, its glue for sticking the carpet to the box, works wonders!
home depot...

GOOD LUCK!!
