Anyone have pics with a false floor and 12" subs? Preferably with the top finishing covered removed. Need to get some ides for AMP placement and sub box.

TiA.

 

i can show you a coupla ones with single and dual 10s that i have done, but i know for a fact that i could have used 12s of the same designa and depths if i wanted, but since i wanted to showcase the amps as well, 10s were used:

 

oh forgot you want to see belowt he floor:

 

Very nice setup. How are you holding the sub box to the floor? Is it bolted to the chassis in some way?

 

Gravity

 

acutally it does there are screws int rhe false floor to ths supporting structure below, they are just out of the way as not to be easily seen, but look closely and you should see them

i dont trust just gravity, you go over a big hump at speed i dont want the floor to fly up

Is it bolt directly to the car chassis? I'm afraid of drilling into a fuel or electrical line. Thanks for all your help.

 

funny you say that.. there is a thread somewhere on here about a guy that had that happen to him.. i think it was best buy or something drilled into his gastank..

16psibrick: what do you do for cooling everything under the floor? got any fans going, or does it not get that hot? I cant tell if there is plexi over the amps or not - which if there was, would make me think u would need some fans...

 

the only part that is bolted to hte car's flor ist he sub box as basically hte fondation for the whole thing...

but bolting to the car floor shouldnt scare you, basically just duck your head underneath the car, look to see if there is anyhting there, and make sure ot use screws that at the most go in about an inch or less

as for fans, on the reverse amp set up above, there are two fans blowing across the amp rack, if you look closely you can see it.

on the second set up, no fans, cuase honestly, the Ed amps have super efficient heat sinks and i have yet to have any issue wtih overheat in this stype of installs

16psibrick,

Thanks, this will help me out tremendously. My current box and amp rack is not bolted to the chassis, when I hit a bump the amp rack flops. I really have to invest more R&D into it. If possible, do you have a picture of where you bolted the sub box to the chassis?

 

Obviously I was joking about the gravity comment I will say that the easiest way to hold it to the floor is velcro. $5 at home depot and no worrying about lining up holes in you box with the floor/screws etc.

 

the subbox is easy, you bolt it down BEFORE You put the subs in, that way, no external bolts and there is no chance L bracks will rip cause the screws are directly into the wood and floor

as for the supporting structure, i usuall try not put too many holes, so i try to think ahead and bolt everyhitng else to the subbox with hot glue supports if neccessary

veclrow is nice but it adds a bit of thickness, and also, if god forbit you get into an accident, i dont want piece of wood to become flying projectiles
