i love seeing stuff like that!!!! thats what its all about. having ICE without having to remove something IMPORTANT like the spare tire. My setup has always had this principle!
diskreet what is the distance from the back of your trunk to the hinge?
i bet if you raised the entire floor up 1.5 inches using 2x2's or 2x4's, you could stick your hand in there and screw off the little doodad that holds the spare tire on... also if you raise it up 1.5" and extned the box alittle more toward the back seat so it overlaps that hump, you can bolt your whole floor right to that hump nad have it extra secure
mine is raised like I mentioned and it looks like you have as much space as I have at the back of the trunk (my amp rack is removable) and I can reach in there and get the spare out no problem, and it is held down with the factory thing
well i did this off the top of my head with only inspiration, nothing solid. so any mistakes I made, I wrote in so you know how to fix them yourself. Learn and expand on my design! thats the main purpose here. Change anything you want! Improve it please then post pics!
about the raising up thing, I just dont have the room and if I do I need to cut the side amp piece of wood to make room for the higher floor. its a good idea but its too late. plus this is only a daily driver, not ever going to be in a show!
I just want it nicer than usual but finctional, which is exactly what I accomplished!
i worked off and on, going through a first design then re-doing most of the work. so a little over 20 hours total. Also I never did anything like this before so I took it REALLY slow.
I was just wondering...were you still able to access the spare tire w/ no clearance problems? Seems from the pic. that it'd prove kind of difficult, specially since the spare tire has such a long screw...
yeah the spare is sitting loose. i might throw an old pillow down there but as for the tire it doesnt move at all; even under hard turning, accellerating, braking, etc.
Hey, that's nice too, but why didn't you carpet the box as well? I think it'll look cleaner.
yea i thought bout that and i agree, but i have a cheap amp and heats up quick and the more carpet i have in the box the hotter it will get, i already have 2 computer fans running through the box to keep it cool, ill probably end up painting it black or something then possibly tinting the glass
