Right, I want a sub in the boot but need all the space so don't want a normal sized box taking up the room...
Looked into the stealth type that fit uner the shelf fixings.. turns out they are not cheap!
So got me thinking of weather I could build one, being fairly handy with stuff like that.
I was thinking of lining the area and then fibre glassing the shape to make the rear of the box then a simple MDF front or something along those lines!?
any thoughts? and are they any good.

I was thinking the same thing as I need the space for a double pushchair, I decided to stick with a sub in a normal box and make it easy to take out when I have the kids in the car as I don't use it with them in.

yeah that was my other option, to make a plug in type box?
the main reason is that my dog goes in the boot sometimes.

Thats great!
Thanks for the link. :cool:

not only are the stealth ones not cheap but mine fits terrible too! build one!

I made one of the stealth type in my mkII in the near-side rear quarter. Fits perfectly and sounds good. It is important to get the internal volume right for the sub your going to use. Make sure you factor in the size of the sub basket into your overall volume so its not too small.
Best piece of advice I can give is mask up everywhere as the FG resin drips in places you wouldnt think. I now have a run/blob on the bumper near the back wheel :sad:

I would so love to do this, but it looks a lot of hard work, and for someone who doesn't like gettin there hands dirty there is a lot of room to fook up!!!!! lol.

How much bass are you wanting to kick out?
You might want to consider an all in one sub/amp that fits under your passenger seat?

Yeah I have looked at them before to go into my MK1 Caddy but wasn't sure if they were any good or not and didn't want to spend out the money on one.
If anyone does have one then it would be good to know, that would slove the issues in both of my cars! I could get one under both seats?
-
Yeah, I'd like to know too as considering this myself...

Not too much, I am not too Techy with this sort of thing, where can you get these from, how much are they and does the seat still move freely?

all right there mate ive just bilt a steath box for mr girl freinds mk4 golf it wasnt easy but it sounds the nuts ive used a in phase 10inch and you wouldnt belive how much bass that little fing kicks out :grin: i personly think if you can get it right they sond better than normal boxes and if you think you can bild one then go a head and bild it i bet you wont be disapointed but the advise i will give is mask every thing up and make the fiber glass part of the box as thick as you can other wise it will vibrate and sound sh!te ive used 5 or 6 layers on mine but its up to u mate how thick u wont it and wen your happy with. if u have any questions about what i used or how i done it just pm me and ille try and answer them. ian
