hi any body got any pictures of a boot build for fiesta, just for 1 12" sub.
fancy it nice i the corner.
thinkig of making one, just want to look at some ideas.
cheers

[bassboy]

hi mate do you mean like a stealth build in the side of the boot? or by corner you mean to one side of the back seat?

Im soon going to be doing an install into a Corsa where i will be fabricating a box to fit into the side of the boot so there is no loss to boot space (with the sub reverse mounted to show off the magnet lol) and all the amps under a flase floor so the boot is still reletively empty.

The amps are going under perspex panels that can be covered up so no one will know anything is there until the covers are removed.

And the party trick is that the floor will be able to be lifted up to still get to the spare wheel

yeahh cool.. not by the back seat.
on the side i have started making it i shall write up how it goes.
write a guide on yours as well:)
sounds good.

[bassboy]

no worries mate, are you FG'ing yours? if so be careful

ive got a few guides coming up with a few customers cars that im currently doing so there should be some nice installs coming soon...from the INSANE (which HAS to be mine LOL) to a chilled out stealth build and everything in between including streetbassers and SQ cars

P.S the longer you stick around the site, you will know im the ORIGINAL ft.com bass freak

[Sheriff Burman]

That the kind of thing? I'm putting a sheet of MDF to the right side of the sub as then I cn still use part of the boot fully accessible from the split folding rear seats...

[richlal]

i am fibre glassing, just doing it atm . here are some pics of what i have done.

[bassboy]

how many layers of FG did u use?

bassboy

[richlal]

3 layers, its nice and solid, would do more but its quite pricey

[bassboy]

did u get it from halfords?

bassboy

[richlal]

ha yeah. good old halfords.
Used the

Fastglass Resin http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_183753_langId_-1_categoryId_70054
Fastglass Hardner http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_189508_langId_-1_categoryId_70054
Glass Fibre Mat http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... ryId_70054

Ill write a guide once fully done if anyones interested.

[gumpy]

i cant believe the price of fg in halfords i went to my nearest d.i.y shop and got 1mtr x 2mtr of matting for 1.50 and resin for 2.00 a ltr i cant see why halfors would charge so much

[richlal]

bloody piss take isnt it. if the box is to small does is make it sound rubbish?

[bassboy]

ahh thought so...

small box will mean tight punchy bass...can be corrected by setting the amp up properly however it needs to be done by someone who knows what they are doing

bassboy

[richlal]

Almost finished now, just in the process of smoothing ready for painting, if paint to the job, will carpet.
comments welcome

[adamsmatthew]

looking at doing the same in mine
when you started amd taped up the bit you wanted to do did you fibreglass over the side carpet or straight onto the side of the boot
also how much matting did you need to buy to do it all
thanks
matt

[richlal]

worked out pretty well once done.
i taped over the metal bit and used about 2-3 packets from halfords, cant remeber off hand how big they were but you want it nice a thick air tight.

[adamsmatthew]

ok mate think a trip to halfrauds is needed
hav you got a pic of [ERRR] it lookes like finised
and how did you secure it down
thanks

[richlal]

mine fit snug in the side, once you have fibreglassed it it will secure in its place. i have sent some pictures. unfortunalty i havent got any ppictures of it carpeted. and no longer own it. so bit of a bummer
