Hi peeps,

I’m doing an install in my car ive got a fusion sub and amp with infinity 6x9’s for the parcel shelf. I want to put them in but I don’t want them to move around while they are in the boot so im looking for ideas on how people have done there’s I don’t want to spend a lot doing it cus it wont be seen.

All ideas appreciated if anyone has pics to it would be a great help.

 

for a start, dont fit the speakers in the shelf.

The air movement from the subwoofer can affect the operation of the 6x9's in the shelf.

You'd be better with a good quality front set up, rather than a poor quality rear set up.

I have used velcro (a fair amount) in the past to stop the sub box moving around, and fitted the amp to the box, or you could fit a wooden floor and affix both the amp and the sub box to it.

hth.

 

I have fitted some pioneer speakers in the front door cards some good quality ones

Where would i put my 6x9's then if not in the parcil shelf? also if i put a mdf floor in the boot how would i fix that in? screws? Sorry if im sounding dumb but never fitted one before

 

for the sub, i fitted the amp to the back/side of the sub box and put a wooden floor in to hide the wires... then used L section steel and drilled holes in it so that i could screw the sub box to the floor. hope that helps!

 

CHEERS nilrem

 

no probs matey

 

ive got a sub and amp in mine and the rear strut brace holds it in place

 

Thats an idea

 

got strong velcro holding amp onto the back of the back seat, excess cables are under the seat.

The sub seems to be heavy enough to stay put

 

dont bother with the 6x9s - sell em.. they're shit lol

 

As Mike says have NO mid or full range speakers in the back

Fronts, have some components, only mid and tweeters, and a good sub in the boot

If the fronts are powered well enough, they will fill the car with sound!

Rear speakers spoil the whole sound, as well as if you have 6x9's they will die before long from the bass the sub produces!

 

sell the 6x9s and your front speakers, then use the money for a decent set of front components, i would recommend focal or rainbow. Don't bother with speakers in the back, cos you don't go to a music concert and face the back do you, your brain prefers to have the sound coming from the front

Don't bother with mdf all over the place in the boot, it will only slow you down, and it is more to rattle about. Just a simple, tidy box, with maybe a bit of velcro to hold the sub to the boot floor if you need it.

My 12" JL sits in my boot, with the amp velcro'd beside it, and with all the wires hidden (nothing worse than having wires flapping about in the breeze all over the place). Simplicity is the key

 

This is my Esc Cos boot install. The sub, amp and power cap are mounted on mdf, which has been cut around the spare wheel cover and covered in carpet. I made the mdf so the bottom of the sub sits on the wood where the amp is. Then I used some spray adhesive ( http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_pr...&prod_id=12858 ) to make sure it doesn't go anywhere



My girlfriend pug is the same idea. False floor to hide the wiring. Amp screwed into false floor and sub box held in please with spry adhesive.

 

Thanks for all the ideas peeps i will be having ago at it next weekend ive noticed alot of you dont bother with 6x9's (ive just spent a Ł100 on them aswel ) One quick question tho should i uprate the back speakers in the mouldings at the side of the parcel shelf as they are only std ones in there.

 

No.

Are you planning on amping any of the speakers or just the sub?

 

in my saph i have a alpine V12 amp boxed and mounted to therear seat, and a 10" free air sub in a nice custom built parcel shelf, which isnt MDF, i dunno what wood it is but iit weighs a fookin ton. I also have some rear componets (JBL) in the shelf which run of the amp, and them metal pioneers compnents running at the front, the car used to be owned by a car audio shop as a demo so the install is pretty good quality and the wiring is top notch as well. The best thing tho is i lose zero boot space which is quality

 

rainbow are supposed to be AWESOME.
