this isn't mine...

and in your mind, move the sub behind the seats and move the amps down above the spare tire well. use this as a template.

i would also use less wood near the rear seats since thats the highest point of the floor. using a lot of MDF would weigh a ton.

i think i posted these pics in another thread... :lawl:

alot less vibration compared to the back of the box which may in turn cause internal component damage to the amp then you wont be bump bump bumping nothing just saying take care of ya stuff and guarantee itll last long

That looks like a sturdy false floor at least. I had so many problems keeping my box mounted correctly. Maybe it was my driving though...

Ever think of mounting under the seats? thus where mine are. hard to steal. my car was just broken into and they took the subs, tried taking the amps but couldn't get the bolts out. just a thought

you need airflow for equipment like that that is running at a warmer temperature than the air around it.. especially if its in the heated summer. under the seat wouldn't be a good idea unless you ran a coolant fan, like on a PC or soemthing.. thats actually a good idea if you would put forth the effort. or then again you can just mount it in the trunk where there is more airflow...

i made my amp rack using 1/2" MDF and mounted that behind the rear seats. its permanently closed so if you cant afford to loose that function of the car, this isnt the best route for you.

here is a picture showing where i mounted the rack too

here is how it looks inside the trunk (wires cleaned up a bit now and 2 10s blocking the amps)
