i was wanting to get rid of this huge box in my trunk. and just wanting to maybe take my spare out and build my amp and 2 10" subs in there flat..

something like this..



thoughts?

know price range of getting it done?

 

I cant imagine something like that is going to be cheap. That would have to have a custom built box under there to old all of that stuff in place. Plus that is gonna make your trunk completely useless. But it does look really clean.

 

cut i piece of plexiglass to fit it and whenever i need my trunk (which is rarely) put the plexiglass on top and done deal. makes it alot more usefull than the enormous box! lol

yea im scared of it costing a fortune.. so im trying to get a ballpark estimate.

 

I seriously doubt that something like that can be done cheaply. I have a sub and amp rack that I built into a false floor. It was very challenging and took alot of time to fabricate. I did manage to retain my spare, though.

If you're willing to lose your spare, it could be easier. JL Audio is coming out with a stealthbox for the 2011 tc, and I think that will be the easiest solution.

 

Depends if you can work wityh your hands or not. With some time and effort you cna BUILD a box like that for probably around 100 bucks...a little more if you use nice carpeting.

 

OEMAudio+ created a whole audio set...not yet released

but the put their sub in place of one of the cubbies...

i wish i took pictures when i was in their test car...maybe next time i see them

i dont mind loosing my spare. if my tire goes flat i got connections.


i dont mind working with my hands. but in order to do something like that..i would need the right tools. and i dont even know where to begin..

the cubby whole subs not really my style.. i would like to put mine in the floor.

 

All you need is some MDF, a nice table saw and a reciprocating saw mounted on some sort of stand to cut out the hole for the sub. Would be easier to make one for some L5/L7s Squares are easier than circles...

 

^ Very true statement on squares vs. circles.

jtk2, a hidden sub really isn't too hard. And I'm not sure on this, but I think you could actually put the OEM trunk piece back in over it if you do everything right. I also had an audio shop here quote me $500 to do a custom fiberglass enclosure that would put a sub in each of the cubbies.

 

ill keep the squares in mind. and i guess my dad has those saws in his shop. its just he would make me do everything and i dont trust myself lol. i want it to look good! haha

 

A lot of people have done this on Scions, but since the Yaris thread came up first...

Thanks for that. Now I have some sort of idea lol. But mines more complicated. Trying to get 2 subs and an amp. One day when I'm off I may give it a shot to see how it goes. Either that or just hold off and do the other million things I still have yet to do lol.

 

Built a false floor myself for my tc2 only took me a day with ____ty tools to.... Not the greatest but does the job and I can still use my trunk for stuff
