Sub in parcel shelf

[Len]

Just checked out autoacoustics website for a stealth sub box - Hmmm.... ?150 quid !! dont think so.

Think i'll make one myself.

Before anyone says anything - i have very good glassfibre  and woodworking skills.

Depends if i wanna make it removable.
Hmmm... s'pose i'll have to - to get at the strut tops and side light clusters. Yeah!

I can still get to my top srtuts and take my bulb holders out easily. All just about fits in perfectly. Design is the key to success.

Its a good job i dont use it really

Well i did make a parcel shelf Saturday morning in an hour or so. Bit of 18mm MDF and cut out for 6x9's.
Took it over to my son-in-law and he wired it all in with a non descipt amp he had lurking in the garage.
Not bad - will do for this coming weekend - RTTS.
So will live with it for a few weeks and see if its worth adding the rest.

you can turn it into a stealth shelf..... by putting some
fine black cloth over the shelf......

and you still hae the sounds but there hidden when you go shopping.......etc

i have a 10" sony penatgon sub in the centre of my 36mm thick mdf shelf, either side it has a jbl 6x9", sounds ok to me but i dont have it 'mega' loud only enough to over power the noisey scorpion exhaust!!, i am missing my boot space though, amps are mounted on the rear seat back, and the shelf is that fookin heavy i can never be arsed to use the boot!!, if these sony penatgon subs are not 'free to air' then i think im gonna have to give it a tidy up and mount it in the left hand side boot compartment and revert to a thinner/lighter shelf with the 6x9"s in and mount my amps else where!! gonna make a template of the side bit i need and make a panel at work tonight,

oh yeah, so if my sub isnt a free to air jobby is it gonna to sound better in an enclosure then?? was happy with how it sounded anyway but if this makes it sound better as well as easing the use of my boot again ill be well chuffed!!!
