Boot

[Hardie]

Right my boot is a mess, the carpet n the floor is loose and is minging, there wires from the 6x9s hangin out and another wire from somewhere im not quite sure where from :S Anyways wanna clean it up and maybe put summit in it.


First off, What can i do with carpet, would i b better to clean it up or get a new one kinda cut to fit ?


And what to put in it ? i listen to mostly dance music and like it loud so the 6x9s aint as loud as i want, would i be looking at a sub and amp or summit else ?



Cheers

might be an idea if you make a mdf floor to put on the bottom
then glue carpet to that with evo stick or something like that
use carpet as the template
looks good when done

[Hardie]

Sounds like a plan, is it easy done aye ?



Just gonna sort it out as i normally pop the boot when we'r playing fitba down the park to keep the choons pumping and its in a sorry state at the mo

[nova m@rk]

yeah its easy m8 just finished cuttin mine tec ya carpet out draw round it
on 3/4 inch ply i used (MDF is cheeper) cut it out then ive got a bit
of scrap ply about 3inch long / 2inch wide cut 4 of these cut a old m-bike inertube stuck it to the bottom of these then stuck them to the falsefloor
(makes it level & stops vibration)
jus gotto cover it paid a fiva for a 2by2 metre roll of grey/black accoustics carpet from a market put sum pics up wen dun the weekend

Sounds like what i have been planning in my mind today at work, pics would be great mate :D



What about me using red carpet, would that look tacky, im in kinda 2 minds

[srs1]

dont use red hardie!
not cause it'll look tacky, would look good tbh.
but if you use your car day in and day out, then it'll show.
unless it's for a show car!

[Hardie]

lol show car you MAAAAAAAAAD

Yeah suppose would get grubby after a while, il get a pic of me boot so yous can see exactly what im talking about when i say its a mess lol and if anyone has a boot install could you please post up pics to give me an idea ? Cheers
