[JOS3]

hahaha, i wish. im hoping to have it done in time for the trip to minnesota.

 

[JOS3]

well, it wont be done in time for the road rally, but here is a pic i took. i cut templates out of cardboard. this is kind-of what the false floor it will look like.

I've been wanting to do something like that but I dont have the knowledge. Where di you find out how to do it (both fiberglass and false floor)?

 

[Lord_Zath]

no, the way the rx-8 trunk is built is perfect for a setup like this. there is a perfect rectangle shaped cut-out in the floor and the sides have about a cubic foot of free space to work with.

i just did a google search for fiberglass sub enclosures and false amp floors and i got a ton of hits. then it wasa matter of taking the time to read them and understand how fiberglass works. it isnt as hard as i thought it would be to work with, its just very slow and tedious work. its fun though.
