With a Amp
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...+ZXi200.2.html

And BOOM 300 bucks..

 

Sub: $70 (flea market but new)
Amp: $80 (craigslist)
Wiring: $30 amp install kit from audio shop
1/2" MDF (price depends on size of box you are making)
capeting $10 a sq yard (price depends on size of box)
a weeks worth of design and a day of fabrication....





I have since cleaned up the wiring and added the other cover to the RF amp. I hits plenty for me. I'm not into mind blowing bass but my amped 5x7's were not cutting it in the low end bass department. It is in a location where I used the factory mounting hole in the trunk for the Mach 1000 sub locations, so no drilling/modification was needed. I only needed to put a small hole in the trunk carpet to get the bolt through it.

 

...oh and you are seeing fiberglass behind the sub. I went through a couple designs along the way. It is a mold of the factory wheel well "beauty cover". But the way my box sits I needed to notch it, so I did not want to cut the factory one so I used that. Has since been painted and carpeted to blend in.

 

that looks pretty good!

Thank You, I like how it turned out. Exactly what I was looking for in terms of sound output/looks/space savings.

 

That really does look great. I've been considering installing a sub in mine, but have been debating on best placement, etc. That, plus I currently have the stock radio still in it. My wife gave me the sub a few years ago and I still haven't used it- was going to put it in my Eclipse, but then it died before the install.

 

Thank You, I wanted to keep as much trunk functionality as I could. Off to the side seems like the best spot. I could have made a sweet LOOKING trunk but could no longer be called a trunk lol. The way I have it, if need be, my seats can still be folded down for larger objects (last resort though because whatever needs the back seat put down would be resting on the amps). Best part is, I can take everything out and you wouldn't even know it was in there.

If anyone needs ideas/tips you can PM for how I did mine.

 

thanks i might look into that one
