Here is mine it's simple but it allows me to have easy access to my spare wheel and it's secure so it wont go flying if i slam on the brakes.

We designed my boot to make it practical but still loud enough to feel it. This way i can fold down the seats and fit longer items in (such as the AFD with the poles and witches hats

crazyau, I like it. Did you have to make fibreglass molds for the subs? Or can I buy them somewhere?

Its all custom fibre glass mate, and a hell of a lot of it. The subs weigh a fair bit and with them on an angle and the subs turned up it causes a lot of vibration. So we had to reinforce the glass with wood struts and extra glass.
It wasnt exactly a hard job, but it took a lot of time to get right (im picky).

Its is fairly easy to remove. We just made some brackets up that are stuck to the body then we just skrew the box on at these points. I was very happy with the job as the skrews are next to impossible to see where they are.
I will have a chat to my mate who did most of the work and see if hes up for making another. How much money are you willing to spend? As the whole setup was done for around $1800 at mates rates whch was mainly materials ($5000 if we added the hours spent making it). This includes the amp rack and wiring and full install of all the equipment i already had. I could get it done for a similar price again if required. If your serious about it PM me and i will give you my mobile number and we can have a chat about how it was done etc.

Im not sure if you want more pics but here are a few more to give an idea of what it looks like.
These are some pics when it was being installed. It looks dodgey in these as its not finished but there the only pics i have that are this close. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is a picture of the car filled with bits and pieces for a drag meet. As you can see these was plenty of room.. ![]()

In the search for looks I think people are starting to depart from practicality. Why would you want the projection of the subwoofer into the guard?Also while explodes install is very neat and looks really nice I think quality sound belongs in the drivers/passengers compartment. As far as subbies go well sometime they cant fit anywhere else but the boot so fair enough.

useless, no one wants the projection of the subs into the gaurds, crazy-au's is projected away from his gaurd. Anyway all I'd be interested in buying is the fibreglass enclosure as I'm not all that great with the shit. I can box in the rest of my boot and carpet it myself, so work out with your mate how much you'd want to charge just for the enclosure.

Some Nice Boot Installs here.
But, can anyone advise the difference of a forward face sub to a rear facing sub? Thanks, Rob

IMO the forward facing sub is the way to go, if you don't want the boot to rattle that is. Mine doesn't move and the bass is awesome, as it is all firing into the cabin. I think the rear facing can be a little deeper, but i would guess needs a lot more work to keep vibrations down and more power too. Here is what mine looks like inside:
