False floor installs

[Dtowncats]

I am looking for some ideas for my custom install and I want to do a false floor. Can I see some pics of false floor installs you guys did? I will have 2 amps and 1 12" sub. Maybe some pics in the middle of it also? Thanks.

Are you talking about removing the spare tire in the trunk?

Yup I wanna put a sub in the spare tirewell and flush mount my amps into the floor and cover them with fiberglass. Kind of what AlanW6 did. Does anyone know the volume of the spare tirewell?

Here's what I did. Not as extensive as alan's but my teenage mind has very little patience to lay fiberglass. It works for me. these pics are outdated. I ditched the gray carpet for some nicer black stuff since these were taken.

I have seen your's plenty of times. I would love to do it but I don't know if I want to give away my back seat. How does that box stay in place? I thought about doing that also so I won't have to mess with fiberglass.

you dont want to use the bare metal spare tire well as the sub box. it will sound like junk.

I know that! I would be making a fiberglass mold.

Dtowncats, the spare tire well will be roughly 1.5 cubic feet. Mine was about 1.25 with the placement I chose for the MDF back wall section of the tub.

Remember water is an easy test for volume and leaks at the same time. Find a liters to cubic feet calculator online and measure with a bucket. Most car wash or kitchen buckets have volume lines on the side.

I think I may just try to build a box for inside the spare tire well. I am going with 2 8" Sound Splinter RL-i's. They are compared to JL 8W7s by very knowledgable audio people. Here is a link to them: http://www.soundsplinter.com/rli_se...ar_and_home_subwoofer_driver_information.html. The rms is 350 and I will be running them at 300 wrms. It will be ported of course

That will probably be a really nice combo. I checked out the subs, and on paper they are similar to the W7, and will save you a chunk of change to spend on your install.

Do you have any specs for a ported enclosure? I could probaby help you find a cool way to vent the box if I had some specs.

If you are on the webpage, they have enclosure recomendations on there. The ported are at the bottom. They have 3 diff. ones for ported/vented. The main problem I am going to have is that the amp I have does not have a sub-sonic filter. I was told if I tune it around 30 hz I shouldn't have a problem, but I want it to be louder.
