Got's New Junk in the Trunk!!
 
I just finished my first custom sub box. OK, don't flame me for the junk amp or sub. Its just temporary. Its a single 12 in a sealed box. (Ports were filled after i tested it. Sounded like dookey with the twin 4" ports) It sits right against the back seat at a perfect angle. Its made of 3/4" mdf and 3/4" plexi. This box pounds! Can't wait until i get a better sub and amp!! I'll get more pics from the trunk once i get a chance.

Can't really give you a write up, but its basically a plan/measure/cut/glue process. I think looking at the pictures will help alot.

Andy21 - Its real easy to get the armrest to open up to the trunk. In the trunk just take out the piece of carpeted cover by popping out those plastic retainers (i can't remember how many). Then you just gotta take out the piece of cardboard which comes out with some screws. This cardboard is what you see from inside. Comes out very easy.

Thats a really nice clean enclosure. I really need to build one myself, but I've never tried. Only installed systems and ran wires. I also need to install my alarm, but I've never tried that either.

Cliff Clavin Sep 4, 2003 09:03 PM

that does look nice, johnny...

Custom Trunk
 
Good job man...I work a stereo shop and so many times I see people do a crappy job but yours is A1. My web page that shows my custom work is messed up right now. Some of my pages got deleted but I will fix it when I get home from Saudi Arabia. Once again nice job !!

Slammin' set up, like everyone else said, I want to build my own now. Which model do you have, are those the factory seats, they look tight.

DJ Kontakt Sep 6, 2003 08:16 PM

Thats an awesome box, and even more awesome as your first. I really like the cap/amp mounting.

super32 Sep 8, 2003 12:32 PM

real clean... nice work.

johnnyo319 Sep 8, 2003 02:22 PM

I was thinking of etching MAXIMA across the plexi on the amp rack since i have LED's in there shining. What do you think?

AscendantMax Sep 8, 2003 02:52 PM

that would be pretty cool. but make sure both sides have LEDs or else only one side of the etching would glow.

Did you use any write ups or wiring diagrams that you can post? I need all the help I can get, if I'm going to attempt this.

AscendantMax Sep 8, 2003 03:31 PM

umm...just curious...why is that area under the door blue and red in that pic? is it the pic or is the car really colored like that?

Gjohnson Sep 8, 2003 03:34 PM

No, thats just a bad pic on my camera phone. I bought a new digital camera and thought I had updated my sig. Well, I guess I'll fix that right now.

*Edit* Done!!! How's that?
