Any ideas for my install?

Post by mole »

I'm thinking of tidying up my boot, at the mo I've got my changer, sub and amp + wiring as shown in the pic below. It was just a temp job until I decided what to do but has any one got any ideas on what I could do to tidy it up? Don't want anything too involved and I need access to the spare wheel still!

well you dont want to get invoklved :( otherwise id have said false floor on boot lifters (to get to the spare) this would be nearly invisable but a lot of work

so to do it simply... see if you can move the changer up a little because on the mk5 there is a big recess just above where your changer is and where it is, its likly to get smashed
id also attach the amp to the sub box and put that on the passenger side (weight distribution :wink: ) and also tie it down because if your in an accident at 50 mph that thing WILL rip the rear seat clean out of its mounting and then use the seat to pin you to the wind screen. i use 2 straps with a ratchet in them to hold mine down. they are attached to the luggage securing points and are strong enough to tow a mk3 golf (tried and tested :wink: )

Ok thanks Ash. When I said I didn't want anything too involved I didn't mean it! I'm up for a project :lol:

So..... any pics of anything I could use for inspiration? :D

Oh, and noted about tying the sub down, good point.

If you don't want to go over the top i can give you a guys number :( that makes custom enclosures designed to fit the side of the boot, leaving complete access to the wheel. :wink:
