Sub Boxes...

So I am trying to decide what types of Sub Boxes would look good in the aveo. I was watching some YouTube videos and found this link:

The speaker box on top of the decklid looks pretty cool, would anyone be interested in that? Also thinking about making some sub boxes that would fit into the rear tires wells and face out so that the trunk can still be used for other things. Working on this design for my Jeep, it if works out I'll try it on an Aveo...

Just shooting some ideas before bed...

a stealth box would be sweet...

The one Frank did for the Hatch Tray was a great idea, though I'm not personally a fan of the sound of 6x9's. It looked very clean too. I also suggest that for the hatches that left and right side sub boxes to replace the carpet fender covers would be a great idea, still leaving the floor space open, as well as access to the spare tire well.

Also, in the trim panels there is a stock location in the rear (again for the hatch) for 6x9 in the pieces that support the deck tray. You'll see xtreme 2 when you get those pieces that they would be easily converted to a smoother "fit-what-you-want" panel for something like a 6.5" component set and tweeter, or like even an 8" midbass sub with a little finess.

As for the sedan guys I have seen some good ideas following the line of the fender well sub boxes and a customized rear deck plate. Maybe a nice trim panel with the mounting hardware built in would help them in a clean installation.

Again, I speak for most average listeners when I say something subtle and no too flashy would be best, since the bigger and brighter an enclosure is, the more likely to attract unwated attention, and the fewer people that may like the particular design.

I'd suggest looking into those Slim-Fit 10" subs (Blaupunkt? I think, kinda look like movie reels) for the fender enclosures.

Some Slim mount subwoofer suggestions:

Audiopipe slim mount 12" Subwoofer TSF1200
Kole Audio MFW12
Pioneer TSSW2541D
Pioneer TSSW3041D

Good ideas, kirby, that's similar to the one in the vid that I would like to try if there is interest...

that's pretty much what I am doing for the Jeep right now...

That's exactly what I was thinking as far as the fender well enclosures, and we need an upgrade there anyways, since those side covers in the hatch are just cheesy formed carpet pieces.

But I would say I'd prefer smaller subs personally if I were to do that...weight of those may be too much for our rear suspension... :lol: :lol: Serioulsy though, I'd like to see something in an 8" or 10".

Here some other ideas:

Where do you suggest they place the amplifier? I think any setup like this would require a shallow mount sub w/amp mounted across on the opposite wheel well.

good question... i don't know :( lol

What about a slotted amp enclosure with a fan underneath the carpet above the spare tire....just an idea, then the only thing completly visible is the sub and enclosure, simple and stealth....

I am planning something along the lines of aveosummit's idea

that sounds cool. or the amp mounted on the opposite side of the trunk like u said.

I guess something along the lines of a false floor or a false wall, where you see the wall/floor but they are only a cover, all hidden wires....

The spare tire well Sub idea? that's how I had mine in the Probe... Wish I still had pics... Had 2 amps, a 12" sub, and 2 6"x9"s all in the floorboard with a rear seat delete kit...

Speaking of which, would anyone be interested if we developed a rear seat delete kit?

Expound what is a rear seat delete kit....

False Floor Idea in picture form...

nice!

I guess the false floor is the winner...lol

The false floor is great...if you have AAA Insurance. What happens when you get a flat and have no spare tire??


Looks good though.


As for a rear seat delete, well, unfortunatly that would have to include a rear brace bar since the seats when up and locked provide also lateraly structural support. Xtreme 2, I got the concept already designed for it, ttyl about it.

The false floor works on the idea that you still have access to your spare tire by creating a new floor in your trunk. In theory you raise the actually floor by a few inches in order to place the amplifier there, thus keeping access to your spare, but in the event that you use the false floor to store your sub and your amp, the subs required cuft will determine if you still have room for a spare.

Here is a link to a false floor tutorial. This is very basic but you can get the jest of how to do it.

wow, thats pretty nice.

Glad you liked it. I am glad I can help...

Was the false floor ever put in?
