cool man, nice to meet you

 

Welcome to the forums. Glad you can help us out.

 

no prob guys, thanks for the welcomes and glad to be here.

 

Hey man, I am anxious to see those pictures!

 

Nice setup man, i got a few questions hehe.
Is that wood heavy?and where can i buy it.
Where can i get carpet like what you used?
Oh, and are the materials pricey?

Thanks

 

The wood is 3/4 inch MDF. It's not too spendy. The carpet is typical trunk liner. You can get it at abotu any fabric store. and use good spray glue it will pay off not thwe walmart stuff get it at a fabric store or somewhere like that. The MDF is about 30 bucks a sheet. get mroe than you think youll need you'll need extra trust me

 

Oh yea the wood on the amp rack is 1/2 inch MDF and yes its heavy forgot to answer that. But I dont race drag I race motoX so the weight is actually good. Keeps the @$$ end on the ground

 

Cool man thanks

 

Hey, is there anything lighter and durable that i can use for that amp rack instead of that MDF? I want to do a setup kinda like yours but with fiberglass over the amp so i can still use the trunk as a trunk and not have to worry about it cracking.

 

Nice looking setup. I want to do something similar to that because right now I have no trunk space. I want to design something that I can still get at my spare tire if I need it.

I just need help working out the smallest dimensions that my box can be so it still sounds good.

 

as far as lighter and strong for an amp rack deffinately if you have the cash and the time to do it. I wanted to do it as well just dont have the patience LOL. I would use plexiglass all day long. Youc an cut it shape it with a heat gun its amazing how much you can do with it. If ya need anymore ideas lemme know ill try to come up with more.

 

SNAPZ as far as demensions let me know what type and size of subs you have and what type of music you listen to i can help you with the airspace and type of box youd need and maybe some dewsigns you might wanna try to save trunk space thats one reason I did mine like I did i can still put my golf clubs back there

 

sorry to get off topic as im kinda new to this forum but anyone in here know how to vote on peoples cars i like??? LOL thanks for the info guys n ladies

 

oh btw ll be doing my EQ linedriver and post pics this weekend so you can check it out. Hopefully i get good results in this car it will be a similar setup as i had in my toyota truck I hit 158.7 DBs on the SPL in my truck hoping to be in the same range although it wont be too close with the big back seat LOL but needed a little more OOMPH for my lady (she likes the car to vibrate)
