My boot install, in progress

[Ruffels]

This is my R33 Skyline - Colloquially called Skylin (as i need to get the paint out for an E)

Now for the install (its not finished yet, but allmost!

The Parts:

Hokay, So here it begins (well the photos anyway) - the Sub Box - this isnt anything fancy - i just made it out of 18mm MDF to fit into the corner of the boot so that i could retain as much boot space as possible without removing the space saver:

So now for the install itself - the odds and ends out in the driveway:

The Boot as it was pre install - as you can see theres not much room so we were trying to keep as MUCH space as possible, the origional plan was to put the amp beside the battery there and if you had a smaller amp it would be entirely possible but this chunky DD C4 Amp was way too wide for the gap (as you can see):

We then decided to take care of all the power wiring. I swear i still have bruises on my hands from crimping these. (the RCA and remote wires were allready laid before the camera came out):

Fuse is a must

Earth point - cant get much better than that:

As you can see, we didnt need much power cabling in this lol gotta love 33's

Power wiring all done:

Time for a Trial Run before things get bolted down:

Ok, Didnt blow up, Check!

Didnt start smoking, Check!

Pumped out some phat beatz, Check!

Time to put it all together.

and here u have it as it stands at the moment:

This still has a fair bit of work to go - including the speakers (which havnt arrived yet) but its looking good as it is, im also currently in the midle of creating a false perspex floor which will have a skyline feature in the centre!

let me know what you think

[lordsnipe]

how does the mdf stay put? is it bolted down?

[siksII]

that looks awesome, i mounted my amp the same way in my old car.

i mounted the mdf piece just as you did,

for lordsnipe, its only held up by a bolt passed through the mdf board and secured with the bracket that holds the stock false wall in place as you can see in the pictures. it sort of sits there so not much need for extra support.

Awesome man, appreciate the pic of the distribution block and fuse....I have one of those type connectors and I never knew how to use it properly, now I do

I have a Rockford Fosgate 12" in a carpeted box, but it won't fir under the R32 parcel shelf

so I'm gunna buy 2 10" subs and get them installed in the back corners of the boot

[MELV]

same earth point i use.

good qualtiy stuff there

DD very cool stuff.

u could port that box, might give a nicer bass hit.

[Topaz]

non-ported is more punchy

[TracidTrax]

very good for a home job i reckon, i like the way the battery is in the back and u have all that space there and it actually doesnt look bad at all, good job

[Ruffels]

hey guys , i did a bit more work on the boot install today.. i remounted my amp and carpeted the wall

next is the perspex floor .... once i get that done i'll post another pic

sure its no prfessional boot install.. but from someone who has no idea what they are doing then it isnt too bad
