New Sub Location!!
A local place did this, all I did was drive it around back, they ripped out the old carpet, took off the compartment lids, measured a new piece of board to make a 'false floor' and carpeted it in black, cut out the sub hole, and mounted it and wired it....

$30 bones, you got that cheap :thumbs:
Ya might want to get a grill for the sub, things roll around and that might ruin your day. Make sure it is a high-excursion grill too :eek:

Re: New Sub Location!! (TheWacoKid)
How does it seal with the compartment below?
I am going to mount my amp in the same place on the other side tomorrow, that should even things out a little bit.

Not really...it's probobly only about 8 mm one way...16 mm peak to peak.
You probly won't need any special grill...but the ones from partsexpress for high excusion subs look pretty good in black. :cheers:

8mm? That's not very high excursion-ish. I can look at it and tell you it moves more than that... 8mm can't be right... :confused:

Re: New Sub Location!! (Kale)
aint that the truth, they put a huge rubber surround on it.
yep. audiobahn is good at making subs look like they are high excursion, when in fact, they have pretty low excursion.

Yeah, how'd they seal it?

They didn't, apparently it was sealed good enough cause there aren't any air leaks. All they did was cut a board that fit the bottom of the rear area exactly and mounted it up.
