Finally got around to tidying up my ghetto boot install so I thought I'd throw up a few pics. Almost done with the stereo now, just gotta rig up some sort of protection for the wires below the amp and make some tweeter pods. Blu-tacked tweeters at the moment. :disgusted

Thats nice and clean mate. Good work, cause its still practical, unlike a lot of boot installs now-days *cough* tufftr *cough* lol

Should be proud. What gear are you running??

Cheers buddy. Yeh wanted to keep it as practical as possible. Still got easy access to spare wheel aswell.

Running all Alpine gear...

Alpine 9857 Headunit
Type X 6.5" Splits
Type R 12" Sub
F545 4x125wrms Amp

very neat :)

indeed, very neat! but did ur sub come with that mesh frame?

Nah, I bought it seperate. Its an Alpine grill made specifically for the sub. Fits nicely.

ahh, is it a 12" frame?? i'll need one wen i install my sub, uno, safety measures lol... shame my sub didnt come with one :doubt: came with an amp tho!

EDIT: didnt see earlier post... oops

Yeh 12". You can get 10" aswell. They are for the Type S and Type R subs.

nice and minimalist and practical, like it mate, good work

where'd you get it and how much? I need one for my 12" Type S. :)

Nice and neat too btw. A shame your amp isnt like the Alpine digital monoblocks, where you can completely hide all wires, (like so (http://au.geocities.com/downeysworld/bootlong.jpg)). Still a nice job though!

Got the grill from Northfield for 40 bucks. Part number/ID is KTE-12WG. Yeh I gotta do something with the wires, I dont want stuff flying around the boot and knocking them loose.

hey Tim-E, are those sub boxes custom made, or pre-made? im considering on making my own custom box, but am thinking of just buying a pre-made box

they are actually in 2 seperate pre-made boxes, both purchased from Northfield. I bought one and then later added a second hence the 2 seperate boxes.

There is a couple more pics of my boot in the Hall of Fame thread, page 6 i think. Anyways I have since sold one of the subs so back to a single again! lol

On topic, $40 is a bit steep for just a grille. I reckon i could put together something to protect the sub for pretty cheap....hmmmmmm.

i love the layout in the boot, so simple, exactly how i intent of doing mine... one day
