I would like to thank everyone for their inputs on this. Here is what I decided to do,

Two rectangular speaker boxes (14"x10"x18") with enough air space so the Kickers would sound good. I used quick disconnects on the wires.




I had to notch out a section in each box for the trunk supports. This way, I did not actually have to bolt the speakers down. This will make it easier to remove them whenever I feel like it.



When the trunk is closed, the supports hold the speakers in place. No banging around at all. They do not move.



I debated whether or nor to install the amp under the pass. seat. I decided to keep everything together in the trunk. So, I built an extra shelf for the amp. As you can also see, the non-nav mat, which is still available, fits perfectly. The cut-out section on the driver's side is completely covered by the speaker box.

 

The finished product,

 

Looks good. Stock bose system isn't good enough?

 

thats awesome man! cant wait to see the final results

 

That's pretty good work, Roy. It looks almost OEM. The new carpet looks good. Funny, you can still see the bends where it was folded for shipping.

So after this... a RSTB is not in your future, eh? Not you would ever notice it with that beastly cage under your car.

 

Very nice! Good to have a system that is removable in the event you need trunk space.

 

Awesome work! Ive been waiting to see something like this for a long time. Does the notch for the trunk supports act as a port or "band pass" for the sub? Or is the enclosure sealed up away from the notch?

 

It looks like they are sealed I might be wrong...

 

Why kicker comps? put some nice stuff in there man. looks good tho. is that kinda a big box tho for the subs?

 

I would agree on the boxes being large for those subwoofers.. Just my opinion

 

Kinda BIG?

Assuming his dimensions are inside, he has 1.4 cu ft.
Kicker sez min 1ft, max 2.4ft, sealed.
Sounds about bang on.

If the dimensionss are outside, though, he's kinda small.

 

looks like my set up when i had my car

 

im just saying my 10 infinity has a way smaller sealed box and hits hard and never flutters......so I love it.

Looks good man. Shoot me a PM if you want to any more audio work

 

Looks good!!

Finally decided to scrap the Bose myself, gonna rock 2 8w7's! Lookin for more KNOCK then BOOM, undecided on mid/hi's Focal or ID might get some love love....

 

RSTB- not worth it.. had one.. sold one.. ..def makes a difference but not a very positive one.. made me feel unconnected with the car and made it seem very vunerable to snap understeer..blah..

back on topic.. WOW awsome work!!..
hows it sound ?
are you non-bose oem?
and what the heck is a non- nav-mat..on nav cars is there some system back there .. i feel stupid ..

 

Bose OEM.
Vehicles equipped with navi have their trunk mats cut out on the d/s. This is where the navi systems are mounted. Non-navis do not.

Will do bud

Stock system died around 40K miles.

That's because I just unpacked it that morning
RSTB is actually the only suspension mod I don't have besides traction bars.

Especially for drag racing purposes

Its sealed up. Completely air tight.

That's all I had for now. They actually sound pretty darn good.

The boxes were built that size for this exact reason: Proper air space.

 

where did you locate the trunk mat? I have been searching for a while with no luck. I do have the nav package.
