Trunk Area

ViperJ · 01-31-2005, 10:43 PM

I am looking at building a custom fiberglass sub box/amp rack but what is behind the rear seats? That "trunk" are is raised so high what is underneath it? Gas tank? What would I be damaging if I bolted this box/rack to the floor right in the middle? Thanks

hmm, i think that you wont be doing too much damage if you drilled into the metal there, but u might wnana double check, i never seen anybody with a sub and box in a cam, but i bet it would kick ass cuz most people have their boxes in the trunk, in the camaro, the bass would bounce up then reflect on the glass to the front of the car, thats gonna PWN!!

Looks like someone stole the trunk!

Cool setup though.

i thought you wanted to like cut off a big piece of that metal thing in the trunk and literally put the box in there, i'd like that so somone would tell me what the hell its there for

Uhh, if you make it right, the amp and subs and MDF will be heavy enough u wont have to bolt it down

or you can make it fit so nicely its snug and u wont have to worry about it either.

Its going to be fiberglass and I was just wondering how hard it will be to bolt down. we are custom making it to fit the Camaro's trunk but I wanted a little extra security of having it bolted down.

Good question, I wasn't too sure so my subs are on top of that and my amp is bolted down sorta on the bottom left, i might be able to get a picture ina few days. Its sorta where the stock CD changer would bo, i think...

the gas tank is directly beneath right where you want to drill and bolt. i would look for a different method...

panchoman · 02-01-2005, 02:59 PM

well goddamn thats a huge tank

justlearning · 02-01-2005, 03:01 PM

yeah i deffinatley wouldnt bolt anything to that hump your gas tank is less than an inch beneath it u could do what im doin if your building a box for your amps and cut a piece of wood at an angle and have it come off the back of the box and go a lil way behind the seats so it dosent move freely

well then goddamn thats a huge hump

ponchonutty · 02-01-2005, 06:06 PM

Yeah, it's not too hard. The last one we did we foiled the whole rear and glassed away. I just used enough HDF(not MDF) to rough the shapes and give areas to mount the subs and amps to. When everything was done, we used straps under the box/enclosure that went under the plastic sides of the car's trim and bolted them there. Yeah, DO NOT BOLT DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE.

Unfortunately I do not have pics of the Firehawk I did but here's some pics of one I am doing for the demo Jeep.
