Are you a loud music fan with three kids or less?

If so, lose the dickie seats and fit these. They are homemade boxes which are fitted to existing dickie seat mounts. Take out the sub, reach inside and unbolt from the upper mounts, then the whole lot tilts forward to the boot floor on the original dickie seat arms.




6x9s in the rear pillar with extra screws to support the weight.



Extra speakers in the door.



500w amp tucked under the seat.



Bring on a bit of Rammstein or Metallica or Korn or...................

Here goes.....

Unbolt dickie seats, carve a chunk out of the panel underneath, on the side with the fuel filler "persuade" it into place. No panel beating needed on the other side.



Stick a big bit of foam over it.



Use long bolts in the uper mounts.



Spend a long time using the dickie seat as a template. Cut out the front panel. Add vertical MDF strips to enable it to bolt to the top mounts. Use angle iron to bolt to the bottom brackets. After days of fiddling/swearing/sanding/swearing/screwing/swearing cover the whole lot in speaker box fabric and chuck some cable in.

Attach the cover to the bottom mounts.











Fold the cover into place. Put your hand through the hole and bolt it up. Screw the sub in.





Hey presto....


The bumf with the subs said they could be enclosed, ported or open - hence it's only a cover.

Grand Total.
Fabric £25 @ Halfords
Mutant 12" Subs £26 @ Ebay
Cable £20 @ Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310162021514)

I "persuade" the panel!! Just like the panel above!!
