    in my old car i fitted my amp in to the wheel well and i brought a stealth box to sit on the drivers side of the boot, the box is moulded on the back to sit around the read inner arch. I doubt they make them any more, they were designed to be a space saving thing. I still have it somewhere.

    once my system was all fitted i practically had the whole boot space left over. was perfect.

    was thinking of like some dynamat for the floor. some wood like 1x1 for a frame around the boot and some mdf to go across the floor and for the sub.

    OMG! Lol! What do you want that many subs in a nova for? I have a single 10" and thats loud! Bet that rattles like fook! Lol!

    I did it sounded good tbh had a 12" 12W0-4 JL audio sub and a alpine digital amp powering it. made a mdf frame, fibreglassed the middle (hardly cost anything to make) and made a 19mm mdf lid. Worked well, will try and dig some pics out, cant remember if there is any in my project thread if so check that! Oh yeah sub and amp for sale too

    Hi

    I had a go with this back in 2007 - Top tip use lots of fibreglass matting to strengthen and seal the wheel well. I used a JL 12W6 sub and it makes the windows rattle without problems. I used a bit of acoustic wadding in the wheel well to make the sub react as though its in a bigger space ....



    More info on my WIP ....
