I was talking to Caveman a while back about the fact that I had two identical 12" subs, and would be kinda keen on fitting both of them in my boot with my Cusco strut-brace still in there. Putting a dual 12" enclosure in front of the strut-brace would almost take up the entire boot, and the space between brace and the back of the seats would be VERY tight. Caveman came up with the idea of running the strut-brace through the box ;) One trip to Bunnings and an afternoon of me supervising (ie. holding bits of wood and looking like I know what I'm doing), and Caveman's creation came to life :D Cheers Caveman, you the man :D :D















Hope these images come through ok. My first time using PhotoBucket :unsure:

I corrected your post. Images can be viewed now.

They are on the way to you now. Man my computer is slow :wacko: Cheers Caveman :)

Cheers Stephen :D Man you guys are on to it :D

Nice,clean and tidy setup Stu. Good job Wayne. :D

Cheers Caveman. Haven't found that option yet (still looking), but that will come in handy. I know what to look out for now.

Nice DIY Stu :D

Hey man you did the hard work, that carpet job rocks. So stoked it all came together so well. Will try and have another crack at finishing mine this weekend.....maybe.

just gotta sort the carpet out and some other little tricks :ph43r:
carona swapsies coming soon

Was your brilliant idea Caveman, and man did it work out well :D Cheers Craig and Altezzadunnos for the kind words :D

I'm back over the hill tomorrow morning for the weekend. Will be 'mount side' next weekend it you still need a hand? Will give Mad Soundz in Hams a yell and see if they have anymore 'affordable' (ie. free) carpet on hand. Plus you can check out my new SUPER bright HID's in my spotties. Almost burned my retinas out looking at them :rolleyes:

Looks awesome! good job you two!

Looks good Stu, like your handy work Wayne.

Is that with the foam sock on the brace?

Good work Wayne and Stu!

Came together really well.

Wayne aka Caveman Audio Solutions going to be in the VIP forum? :P

Nice effort guys!

Solid design guys, good job!

One question, if you need your spare is it a *** to get out (do you have to take your sway off?)

Stu and i have a plan to replace/ modify the plastic floor piece under the carpet. Then it will be a simple lift the carpet and tuck out of the way. lift the board and bingo tyre well :D

right now.... and maybe permanently the plastic floor cover thingy is a challenge (not impossible to remove).

sway bar itself sholudn't be an issue..... well it wasnt in testing anyway...

That's a pretty cool design guys. Pity about the sony subs though :P The boys on NZICE haven't got to you yet Caveman?

Would one of these fit behind the strut brace I wonder http://soundstream.com/AudioProducts/Subwoofers/stealth.htm

"The boys on NZICE haven't got to you yet Caveman?"
ha ha. i lurk there :ph43r:

Wow that sure is slim,:o would be pretty sure you could get a wedge box to fit in that space maybe point it foward through the ski harch . possibly even two of em !! (or three.. four ... drifting off to imaginary land now...hmmmmmmm)

Awesome

Hey Cody. Cheers bro. Yeah, put a section of that foam tube at each end of the brace inside the pipe for a bit of insulation :D

Even as the design stands, it's pretty easy to get the box out if you need to get to the spare. Two bolts and some banana plugs and out it comes ;) More effort to get the rest of the crap I carry around in my boot out to be honest :D

Yeah I know Sony aren't the greatest subs. Just that I had two identical ones lying around and thought it would be good to house both of them (ie. the other half wanted them out of the computer room, or they were going in the bin) <_< Would have bought some new ones, but then I would have had four subs and been sleeping on the couch :rolleyes:

LOL I know what you mean though, I've currently got more ICE in my bedroom than in my car.
