Getting ready to raise my tunk!

[Cheekz185]

OK so today, I was able to remove EVERYTHING out of my trunk....AMP/ Subs and carputer! Now tomorrow I gotta make an exact template of my trunk...I am proly going to have the trunk in 3 sections. DO any of you guys reccomend a certain material for a template? I dont know where i can get a big enough peice of cardboard or something.....

[n3oAcid24]

dude you should of said something. i have a warehouse full of boxes. i could of sent some out to you.

[Cheekz185]

HAHA thanks man appreciate it! WHere can i get a big box? Maybe a stable of kinkos?

[n3oAcid24]

dude just go to a corner store and ask the guy. maybe the store has some. if anythnig then guy kinkos, ups, staples, or fedex.

I know all the shipping places have limited numbers due to the handling of um..... I got my boxes to ship a drum set at Uhaul. They hve big wardrobes and such. I don't know how widespread uhaul stores are but I'd assume there's one close enough.

Also go to places that usually get in big items like a appliance store, shipping company, or even a body shop. These places are always getting in big items and have to break down the boxes for the trash. I think when I made my template for my trunk I actually taped together several pieces of cardboard or poster board and traced the design by using the "trap door" and the carpet pieces from the trunk.

Here are a couple pix of how I did mine:

Hey BIGMONEYDAY! Nice setup! I wannt do what u did sorta! I want to keep my spare and where u placed ur subs i am going to place my memphis amp (built into the raised floor) and then have my sub box on top of it! On the left side of the trunk i am going to place my second amp (very tiny amp (Alpine V12 2ch) ) But here is something i havent figured out yet....Is it possible to build a side wall on the left of the trunk, cuz that is where i wanna place my carputer?

[BIGMONEYDAY]

Yes it is possible to build a wall/enclosed area on both sides of our trunk to house various components like carputers, eq's, processors, etc. You will need to build something like this:

Which is basicly just a box with what you want in it, and then putting a piece of wood in front of it that covers it up, cutout a see-thru area, and cover in your choice of material. And then you can also dress it up how you want, like leds, neons, and or plexiglass windows.

try some heavy duty aluminum foil to get things started, lay it in, mold it to the curves and such, pull it out, and trace it out on what you need...

kinda like pre-fiberglassing... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

Yes that set upin blazin, wish it was mine. I took that pic about 3-4 years ago at Spring Break Nat'ls in Daytona. Maybe one day my setup will be that clean.

OK so i made my template! I am going to start cutting the bottom layer of the wood this week ! Juste wondering if it is necessary to put fans blowing on my amps? I am have memphis belle st-1300d and a small alpine v12. Should i put fans? WIll it be ok if i dont? If so how many fans? And where can i get rolls of carpet?

[pinoyesv6]

if im reading the description correctly, on one of your amps you gonna pop it in the floor and put the sub box on top of it. you definitely need a fan(s) for at least that amp
