Yaris HB: Subwoofer (hidden) trunk install.. Need help
I am thinking about installing a subwoofer in the trunk in the compartment that hosts the spare tire.. so that the whole enclosure would be hidden.. At the same time I want to keep my spare tire (even if I have to remove the whole enclosure to get access).. I guess I gonna need at least 15-20 litres for a 10 inch speaker and something like 30-40 litres which seems feasible for a 12 inch speakers (which seems difficult to get I want to keep the spare tire)..
Anyone has pics of similar good installs ? |

Update
I did the frame and started doing the "custom" bottom - did several layers with fiberglash resin and cloth which looked OK.. and did mat for the top layer .. and I think I sort of screwed up.. despite the fact that the box looks like sh.t inside it is pretty strong and should hopefully give me 38 -40 liters that I hope for |

Question
I can not locate automotive carpet like this one around http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=261-750 Anyone tried using felt from Michael's art stores to cover their sub enclosures?http://www.michaels.com/Felting---Bl...ducts&start=32 (looks like nice material) |

1. mdf boards 3 * 20 bucks = 60 bucks (some left for front doors- midwoofers installation is next stage of Tolmach Yaris Project) 2. fiberglass resin plus cloth - around 100 bucks (3 liters of resin) 3. measuring cup for resin - 1.00 Buck (dollarrama foreva!!) 4. small box of screws - 3.5 bucks 5. automotive carpet from Parts Express - 2 yards at 8 bucks/yard = 16 bucks plus shipment to Canada (sounds stupid but could not find good carpet around) 6. Spray glue 3M 13 bucks 7. materials: drill bits, jigsaw blades, some automotive putty to seal small holes You would also need a jigsaw and drill (which last forever hence costs ignored ))) as well as amp, sub and some wiring kit )) I kinda realize it would be cheaper to buy the manufactured box but wanter to save the trunk space |
