4th gen boot builds

Bludge · Post by **Bludge** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 5:52 pm

Anyone done anything fancy with a sub etc in their 4th gen? i have had my active sub sat in the back since i got the car, but i want the spare wheel out and the sub fixable in place but easy to remove.

Hoping you guys can give me some inspiration!

I havnt seen many boot builds on here there were a few on puk I had a couple of 10" subs in custom boxes that fit either side of the boot behind the lights I sold them ages ago to a guy in ireland

I was thinking i will just cut some mdf to the shape of the standard boot floor liner thing, but not sure how i would fix it down.

Also had a thought of going for an amp and sub setup, and having the sub sit in the spare wheel recess and mesh over the top so i can still use the boot instead of having to take out a box.

My problem is im not very good when i have to get creative!

one of the guys did a wheel well install with a car pc that was pretty good but you would need to get some of that sound deadening in there

Yeah, a guy in Ipswich did the car PC build. Forgotten his user name atm, but do a search for 'pirates black' on here or PUK (that's the colour of his car).

Oldgit also did a boot build on his lude. You'd need to search on lude behaviour for that one I think.

Didn't frontbacksidetoside's lude come with a boot build too? Have a look on here? His was a show car build so I think it did?

any ideas on fixing the mdf board down so it doesnt slide around? figure i can do that and use my existing sub then can cut the hole for the wheel well install when i got the money for a decent sub and amp setup.

I also want to try a tablet headunit install when i got some spare cash.

do it in 3 pieces 2 sides and a middle hatch that will hold your sub do a bit of wood work to join the 2 sides and hinge the hatch

use your boot carpet and side pieces as a template

your never gonna get a piece of mdf in the boot to cover the floor in piece, so you cut it out to the shape of your boot floor. Then cut the hatch out where the wheel well is, and then cut the main piece so it will go in and rejoin it once in the boot then hinge the hatch.
I don't have anything to draw you a picture that I can put on here
