Pete91 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thought i'd give this an update.Progress so far on the boot build:The plan is for the amp to be mounted up against the back seats, 2 10" subs into the floor of the box and inbetween the subs will be a bit of perspex and a stinger cap below with a digital display showing the volts going through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lermy Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 that box looks familiar..... oh wait i have one exactly the same except with sub in middle and amp either side under the top section of the build ha ha, looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Liking the sound of this!Cheers man!Looking good shame I need my boot or I would have one like this Just do it.

Pete91 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) I'm massively happy with the way it's worked so far. The optimal volume of the sealed box is 48l, i managed to get 47.895...with the help of my dad tho :-) Edited July 3, 2012 by Pete91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 More boot build progress Was hoping to get people's opinions on what would be the best way to display they cap.First option is to have a rectangle piece of perspex where the VW badge is and have the cap below showing the digital reading or;The second option is to have the VW logo with perspex in the gaps but undecided as to whether it'll look tacky or not?All opinions welcome!!

patroddy Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) keep it nice and simple and have a gap for the cap (no perspex) so half raised above the floor like this :) Edited July 15, 2012 by patroddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^^this sounds like a plan mate. Only thing is that i'd need to make sure it's 100% sealed. I think a smidgen of fibre glass may be required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah mate cos i've worked out the dimensions for a sealed box as opposed to a ported box. Need to figure out something with the cables aswell to try and hide them. Hmmmm defo worth looking into though. Cheers for the suggestion!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patroddy Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 have the power cap outside the sealed box with the wires running into the box ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Ahh i see. If i kept the cap outside the box it would mean just bolting it to the top as oppose to sinking it down. I'm quite a fan of your idea of sinking it into the build so i could just cut hole just big enough and squeeze it in so that it's air tight.

patroddy Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 naah i dont think so?? you could still sink it in??the black being the sub and the box, and the red being the power cap, and the blue lines the cables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
