Hifi Install Help

[Griffyn]

Well I already have a pretty good hifi.....BUT need a change I think. I have a 12" alpine type-r sub on the way with the MRD-M605 amp. I am also going to get alpine type-r 16.5cm components and 6x9s powered by the MRV F345.

I had 2 amps under my seats...1 for sub in the boot and 1 for the 13.5cm components and 6x9s.

I am just wondering what is the best way to install all of this as the yaris has such a small boot!!! I wasnt going to change Speakers and old amp but thought hey mite as well. I had planned out a false floor with sub box on the right MRD-M605 amp on the left wit perspex window over it wit Yaris Etched on2 it and my power cap in the middle wit another perspe window. Obviously cathodes as well 2 lite it up

But since I am going to change my other amp for an alpine MRV F345 I wld like that on show as well in the boot. BUT here is the problem anyway of doing a boot build to accomodate the sub, 2 amps and power cap??? But make it look good without using carbon fibre as I wana do it myself. Also want to have some boot space, hence false floor and not carbon fibre boot build.

Dimensions:

MRD M605 - 290x60x220

MRV F345 - 330x60x220

Bass Box - 360(H)x440(W)x320(D)

Power Cap - dont know (LOL) guess about 25cm long and diameter of 6cm???

The boot is roughly 960 wide and has a depth of 440.

Kinda confused as what i should do know?

PS: post pics of boot builds for inspiration.

Cheers

If your that worried about space i heard someone talking of under the back seats being hollow so you could put the amps under there. Ok you wouldnt be able to show off but you stil have boot space! If your that bothered bout them being on display you could try roof mounting but dunno bout space and visibility! Another possibility is all false flooring in the boot so there is the sub and power cap fitting flush to the false floor in the middle with the two amps at sides slanting out of the false floor against the side of the boot (if that makes sense!) Admitedly your boot will hold less space but atleast then the space you are left with is in a good shape (cuboid shape roughly means most objects will fit :P)

...or stop trying to put so much ice in the poor little yaris! :P

mt mate had a hi-fi in his AX. you know one of those megga aiwa, awia what ever they are, stereo's in the boot, loud as!!! only had to go in the boot to change cd's :(

I have a few ideas floating around in my head but just wana see some installs in the boot tbh. As two amps and a sub in the yaris will take up alot of room......need a bigger car LOL.

Any ideas???
