Decided after buying a very nice head unit and replacing the speakers i fancied a little more bass so decied to do a discreet sub and amp install in the boot.

I do alot of surfing so i didnt want something big in the boot or in a postion where it could get salt water ingress etc...

So as i have the false floor in my octavia i decided to use the large amount of space behind the spare wheel in the wheel well, After removing the polystyrene bit i relised that there was more than enough space to get a sub and am mounting in there so that the false floor could still close if need be!

i am running 2x in-phase XT8 1000 watt subs off of a SPLX 300w bridged amp, Made an open sub box and soundproofed the various metal areas in the wheel well, carpeted and fitted, i did it over a week or so but probably only took a few hours to fully complete!

Very impressed with quality of the bass and the subs and amp themselves, easy to wire in and look pretty good i think!

What do you think ?!?

looks nice and stealth enough bud

my ocd would cause me to have the wires pop up from no-where and go in the amp lol

but im very ott and strange

by no means being mean lol good job matey

yep thats the plan! hidden wires popping out from underneath, and trim the wood to fit carpet properly!!!

nearly fully finished!

good good

thats what i like to hear lol

then some more work in progress pics

always a fan of some nice bass in small packages

Nice! :thumbup:

On the theme of OCD, possibly would have gone with a sub either side and the amp in the middle for symmetry... But that really is obsessive

Joking aside mate, that's looking good

I wish the hatchback Octy had the same false floor too so I could do similar instead of just having a box sat in the boot.

that would have been nice but on the left hand side there is no space as the wheel well is more to the Right!!

are those subs in a sealed enclosure?

no not fully sealed although i do intend to fully seel it at some point.

but i have insulated the whole wheel well so it sounds great already

any pics of the HU install?

will get some pictures when im home from my trip to plymouth tommorow!

It'll be worth it, but make sure you get the right volume.
