My Weekend Project - MAlby7 - 09-20-2004

Ever since I got that heavy sub I couldn't take turns too quickly because it would slide all over my trunk. This weekend I finally got my act together and made the MDF floor I was talking about earllier. It's a two piece floor split down the middle and I put a L-shaped bar to hold my sub in place. Here's some pics:

that's a very elegant solution man.. looks good!

How much does the MDF floor weigh?

how come you didnt just screw the box to the existing floor?

I think that would have saved you time and money

Well I have a sealed box and screwing into the floor would promote air leaks. Also sometimes I have to remove the box to put stuff in my car. Also I think this looks better.

As for weight I really have no idea but it's a little smaller than a 4' x 3' piece of MDF. Whatever that weighs would be pretty darn close. Also if I was concerned about weight I would lose the 80-100 lbs worth of sub, the 40-50 lbs worth of amps, the rear seat and the spare tirs/jack. Then I would be super fast.........Ya right!

There really isnt much of an existing floor.. it's more of a little cardboard lined piece of carpet laying on the metal and over the spare tire indent.

Looks pretty good Mike, nice and clean. Still looks factory.

Don't blow your hatch off now!
Reminds me of the old sailing ships when they fire their cannons.
Open the hatch and fire, close reload then fire another vollie. :D
Smartly done!
