matt123roll Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Take the carpet out your boot, mock it up on a piece of MDF, use a jigsaw to get it to fit. Carpet it and put a sub in. Not much more to it really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I used cardboard to cut to the shape of the boot at the height i wanted the floor to sit at, then traced around that on MDF (18mm) and cut that out with a jigsaw.i then build a box from MDF (18mm) that is the height from the the floor to the base of the false floor (this holds my floor up, all from the drivers side... the passenger side is 'floating' as such, with the amp underneath. Attatch this box to the underside of your false floor, after you've cut a whole for the size of your sub. wire in sub etc.done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky28 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 i also want to build a boot build, do you have to make a box underneath the false floor to put the bottom of your sub in or do you just support the false floor with vertical pieces of mdf, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 No you need a box for most subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky28 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 No you need a box for most subs quick reply or what mate, so i need to make a box under the false floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah, the actual false floor is purely cosmetic, it makes the whole floor sit flush and hides your wires. Underneath, you want the sub to be in a sealed/ properly ported enclosure of the correct volume to your sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah you can, make sure its well sealed. Try and find out from your your subwoofer manufacturers website what the ideal box volume is for your sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patroddy Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 silly question i bet how would you do a boot build but leave it so you still have your spare tyre? and what would you recommend for sealing it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky28 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 silly question i bet how would you do a boot build but leave it so you still have your spare tyre? and what would you recommend for sealing it?you build it ontop of where your spare tyre is, in the actual boot not under where the tyres kept and glue for sealing it i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
