Default New Subwoofer in Trunk

Just installed an 10" Blaupunkt low profile subwoofer (bottom firing) and an Ultimate amp. Made a custom 1 Cubic Foot box which is 5 1/4" high. Still have room for my golf clubs and luggage. Sounds great.

Everything is underneath. 1 cc box made out of 5/8" plywood. The box itself is on legs that leave room for the subwoofer. It is amazing how heavy it is. If I need to get at the jack (which I did last week, another story) I can move the whole assembly out of the way to get at the jack. I will take a pic of the bottom of the box for you.

This is it flipped over. When in position, it is completly hidden and you still get 2 sets of clubs in the trunk.

How / where did you route the wires to the power and the headunit? I presume you went through the firewall, mind telling me how?

Yes, through the firewall. In behind the battery there is a spot to go through the firewall. Do a search under "firewall" and you will find it.

Yes yes, I was more interested in where you routed the wires to the sub to the firewall... I was looking and I really owuldnt' know how to pass over the big wall that seperates the trunk / seats??

How are you venting the sub to the cabin? It looks as though the grill would be sitting fluch against the floor and it does not look to be a vented box... Got any more pics of the box to get a better idea of what you are doing there?

It is a 1 Cubic Foot box on about a 2" legs for venting. I looked at intalling it right side up, but did not want to damage it with stuff going in and out of the trunk and also to hide it from curious eyes.
