planing on re carpeting the trunk, new sub box and what not..
pic request for clean trunks, strut bars etc. sub box..
any headliner pics also..

 

Here is a picture of my DIY X-brace. Still have alot of room in there, and the the "X's" act to hold things in place around the corners too.

 

^^That looks really nice! You did a good job If you painted it all one color it would look a lot better but its not like it matters how it looks.

 

nice ^^^

 

My custom wooden trunk insert. 1/2" high density particleboard, polyurethaned and wrapped in speaker carpet. This did affect the sound from the subwoofer because its thick wood, made the bass in the car louder it seems. I drive a 1996 Civic LX sedan with no sound deadening. Box is a 1/2" thick wooden non-ported sub box with a 10" sub and amp on back.







That is a trunk brace, where I made the insert, I cut a big hole in it to accomidate for the bar. The strength decrease of the wood is minimal.

Also, stock my headliner was bare, no sunroof. I added an Integra map light.

^ I also built that bar too

 

How do you keep that box from moving around in your trunk?


I have a similar setup and have tried a few ways of securing the box, but whatever I get to work, doesn't look good and whatever looks decent doesn't work.

 

Yes he did. And good lookin X brace Bryan!

The box is fairly heavy and with the carpet on carpet, it doesnt slide. Unless you corner hard, it won't slide. But I plan on bolting brackets to it and drilling into the wooden trunk insert (the original reason for making it). I may use the hinges used on jeep hoods, that style, or L brackets with sticks and holes with pins to go through so i can quickly remove the sub if i need to put something big in the car.

 

my '00 hatch's trunk, two 10''s in custom made boxes. These are for sale too if anyone is interested.





And with some grills to protect them from the crap that rolls around in trunk

 

Nice setup monkey. Looks very clean.

 

thanks, but they've got to go, making room for a 12'' to replace the 10's

 

I love the clean look about it. I like when the components are integrated into the car instead of just having a big *** box sitting back there.

 

I had the big *** box back there for quite a while. I missed being able to use my trunk to put things in, that was the whole reason for making my custom boxes.

 

not sure what im gonna do as far as my 12's box. and boo hoo to ********* that wanna cry because i have 2 amps and a sub in an itr...its a street car and if i wanna go fast its all removable in less than 10 minutes
