Diy Custom Boot

[fredzz32]

i just thought id show what can be achieved on a budget of $100 plus whatever stereo equipment you may decide on.

i couldnt afford a professonal job but this serves its purpose

Nice job! I'm always more impressed when someone customises their car themselves, and makes their own stuff. Paying someone to do it gives you no right to show off, but YOUR boot install looks excellent!

[fredzz32]

yeah its pretty easy to do if you just have a crack! under the amp theres an xbox poking through to the back seat and in the dash is a 7" screen and a dvd player. cadence 7"x5" and 6" in the rear. this way i can use the xbox as a stacker, i dont like carrying cd's everywhere!

not bad... and you've still got plenty of boot space. That's what I like

So the subs still have plenty of kick there? did you build an enclosure for them behind there?

[dezz]

looks awesome mate. great job.

[skyline[32]]

good job, how long did it take you to do that? came out nice and clean.

Nice!

Any chance of more pics, front on? I'd like to see how you held the subs in place..

[fredzz32]

it took me about 2 days tod cos i got a little boy i didnt get much time.

the subs are boxed out but not to the maunufacturers specs but its within 1 litre. the plan was to leave lots of boot space but since doing the install i havent used the boot too scared!

[RANDY]

Yeah man, we'd appreciate more pics... i'm keen to see how you dealt with the battery/fuse block. I have a rear strut brace (which i'd like to keep) that gets in the way of doing anything funky.

I'm in the process of making a new parcel-shelf up today, and I was going to put my 12" sub into a piece of wood and replace that battery cover piece, similar to what you have done.

Great install, looks nice.

Man with big penis is better with power tools. ;o)

Since were on the topic, this is a pic of my R33 boot I did myself for an audio comp recently. 'Scuse the unbrished microsuede!

It was supposed to be a quick install, but I think a full on fibreglass one would have taken only a little bit longer.

Anyways, this is being overhauled shortly for a better show install. B)

*EDIT - Sorry for the thread hi-jack fredzz, your car looks mean man, lovin the Skyline symbol!!

Great job fredzz32...Lookin very schmick..

A little off topic but how do you guys over come your boot rattling??...Ive got 2X12" subs in my R33 boot and it sounds like sh!t on the outside due to my rear bar convulsively vibrating....I stopped my number plate vibrating with some double sided tape but im thinking the rear bar will take some work than that.....Any suggestions would be appreciated!!....Cheers.

[fredzz32]

not sure about stopping the boot from sounding crap my spoiler rattles so im just gonna get it taken off more drift style! sorry guyz no more pics as yet ill take some at night with it illuminated, thanks for comments makes it feel worth while doing

[fredzz32]

i finally got around to taking some shots, hope these are to your liking guyz

[dezz]

you got the GM-7100M ay...is it powering both subs? how does it go? ive got it ready to go in to my car when it gets here to power a 12" pioneer all by itself with a 4 channel to power the speakers

[fredzz32]

yeah i bought it from strathfield on sale and they had to 12" hooked up it sounded fine so i got the tens that are 250 rms each and it makes nice crisp loud bass with no distortion or bad farting sounds good clean bass
