Hey fellas, just throught i'd throw up some progress of my first ever boot build.

At the minute I have a Fusion sub/amp combo in a mahoosive ported box, i'm no audiophile so for £40 second hand I figured I couldn't go wrong. Thing is after fitting the box I noticed the pram barely fits in the boot now, so i wanted to make something that would be tidier and also storage space for essential Peugeot tools like a socket set and torx bits

I saw Carl and Bininoz had a boot install by a company called Plush that had a false floor and the sub tucked away to the side. Didn't fancy spending £££ as money's already tight so a quick trip to B&Q and some tools borrowed off a joiner mate left me with this so far.

Measured up the floor by tracing the boot carpet which, by the way, is suitably boggin'. Accoustic carpet for the false floor ftw.



Peep hole for the amp, to be filled with a sheet of perspex if it ever gets delivered



Floor cut, trial fitted and trimmed



Note how the floor doesn't cover the entire boot, i wanted a floor I could easily remove without having to move the sub box in case i needed spare wheel access etc, the sub box will be recessed and sit on the actual boot floor instead.

Amazing what you find as sound deadening these days, apparently Space Raiders are a good substitute for glass fibre



For the new enclosure I wanted a much tighter bass sound and a smaller box so went for a sealed enclosure, the size of the box was one of the main reasons I wanted to do this install anyway.

Started knocking the box up



Speaker trial fitted, top of the enclosure starting to take shape, and light disappearing quickly.









Oh in the last couple of pics the floor's sitting too high because it's on top of some tools, it won't be sitting above the line of the speaker once the crap's cleared out of the car.

5 hours down, another couple to go, but the box is now sealed just waiting for the sealant to cure. After that just a bit of sanding and laying the accoustic carpet, then job done.

C&C welcome, not bad for a first attempt imo.

I want something similar to this!

Pics of everything all carpeted and fitted, just need to add the perspex screen over the amp (if it ever bloody arrives...)

I can definitely hear the difference in bass response now too, turned up the bass on the HU equalizer and it's much punchier, ideal for metal/industrial, as opposed to the ported box which sounded chavvy and flappy at any level.







Nice snug fitment but still leaves room to get at the rear light cluster if need be.



Quite smug with myself tbh

Yes he did, look at the dirty mark on the top pic on the LHS

Nice build, looks decent quailty, not something i would bother with though, lugging all that extra weight around, these things are bad enough on fuel as it is


I read you made it easily removable for spare wheel access, i dont know how long you've owned a 306, but they sit on a cage underneath


Good work
