Prepping the Boot For Subs

[gr3k0sLaV]

Ok time to start doing work on the boot, ill be putting in 2 12' subs.

Now you know how there is that piece of masonite that sits above the spare tyre so u can use the boot.

Since its thin and broken in half im needed to get a new one, now what is the best material to use...is mdf worth it or do i need something stronger..

where is yours cracked?

[gr3k0sLaV]

the masonite is cracked right down the centre.

weak as water.

Yeah, MDF is very strong but extremely heavy depending on thickness. If you want it to sit flush like the original then you are going to need 1/4" but I don't know if MDF comes in 1/4". So Maybe just a piece of 1/4" plywood would work.
What I did was cut a piece of 3/4" wood the size of the tub, and just place it on top of the spare and then put the masonite on top of that. Works great for me.
Peace..

What sort of cloth material should I put in the boot?

I just want to do it all in the greyish stuff that people allways put on their subs and that.

Im hoping to mount my amps on the back of my seats.

Anyone have photos of their setups aswell?

yeah im going to be doing the same thing as greko, I just got my amp and sub, just need the box......and i was gonna cut a piece of MDF to fit the back, or just partical board.... do you think a skill saw would work good?

Im getting 2x 12' Subs, gotta get a box made for me. As for the cutting of the MDF and that, i dont jack about woodwork, so ill be getting someone who does to do it for me.

I gotta decide how to mount everything, as ill be running at least 2 amps to begin with, and by the end i'll be running 3.

2 for each sub and one for the 4 speakers.
