What have you guys done to avoid this? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90169-boot-space-after-sub-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I am doing...I am currently installing my system and I got most of the box finished today. The upper section of the box will completely sealed to the shelf, so as to avoid frequency cancellation, this will fire the two 12'' subs firing up through the factory sub location and into the cabin. I finished fibreglassing the subwoofer panel today, and installation of the gold mirrored perspex should be completed tommoz.....Btw, I decreased the depth of the box by 40mm (since the pic was taken) as it sat back a little to far for my liking. the backboard and amplifier/processor fitment should be completed in the coming days.....

It really is noisy now that I don't have a spare tyre to muffle the sound Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90169-boot-space-after-sub-install/#findComment-1533001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks tidy and still gives plenty of useable boot space.

Coz handy when got a flat........Mind you I do usually keep a can of that tire repair gear in the car. Got a puncture just the other day, less than a minute and I was on my way again. Interestingly when I went to adjust the pressure the 20inch tire was at 38 psi. From dead flat. Impressive for a relatively small can Edited 03/03/15 10:14 PM by barnz Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90169-boot-space-after-sub-install/#findComment-1533013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
