Custom trunk for the 370Z

Gspinin

Here is my custom trunk i jist finiahed building. Turnaround- 1 week.

Intro: It's crazy how much you can get done with time on your side, patience, and a little knowledge to feed the brain. I started to follow through with this idea to build a custom trunk floor for my sub and add extra components and tweeters to the rear last Friday (7/31).

One week later, with a lot of hard work and determination, the project is about 90% complete.

What's left: I now just need to spray foam and dynamat parts of the trunk for added insulation and sound dampening, a new 10" sub, a mono amp, a dedicated battery (optima yellow top), capacitor, and a wiring kit to complete the installation.

I wanted to keep this custom build clean. Of course there are some slight imperfections but i always learn from my mistakes and will perfect my craft. Thanks to @harringtonkevin for the initial help in organizing the maze of wiring i once had. Wiring the third time around was truly a charm��

Parts:(complete list to come soon)

- The wood is oak plywood.
- Leather upholstery vinyl.


Audio/video setup: Galaxy tab 4 7" (wired to no longer need your stock HU - you'll lose your steering controls but w.e.)
- Polk Audio MMs, tweeters and crossovers front
- Polk DB, tweeters and crossovers, rear

Future additions:

- recess the amp so it sits flush
- replace current Kenwood typhoon 10" 700W to a JL audio brand 10"
- Add a JL audio mono amp just for the subs
- additional amp wiring kit
- capacitors and power distribution block
- LED lighting

Thanks.

Looks great!

Do you still have the spare in there?

Gspinin

The spare is out.

So is there a box or just a baffle...?

Gspinin

Tested the sub in the trunk space without a box..it sounded alright surprisingly. But i will be building a box sometime next week.

My only regret is not having the amp recessed..ugh..I'm itching for a redo lol

Looks good! I'm actually doing a full custom trunk right now. All the panels are being replaced with fiberglass, and 2 12" subs. I wanted to go with something more similar to your design, but I know I'll toss something back there and puncture the sub, even with a grill.

I custom made two panels that fold together to include my amps and sub, but I may be evolving this look in the future. I will include some night pictures soon.

As promised, I decided to learn from my mistakes from the prototype I built 2 weeks ago or so. He are some teaser pics of what is to come.

- dynamat the trunk (only thing left is the door)
- wrapped my 2 farad capacitor
- amp enclosure with cooling fan to be mouted flush into the false floor sitting atop the amp enclosure
- jl audio 300.4 amp recessed on the false floor
- multiamp wiring kit:

I am happy to report that i am done with my audio/video project.

Decided to go with an alpine MRV-F300 and ditch my Jl audio (blown channel). My momo amp (or "sub amp") is an MB Quart 1500.1 amp. For a sub, i went with digital design audio- i am very much impressed by this sub. The quaility of the build is top notch. Checkout ddaudio or come check it out in my trunk for an in person review bc w.e. i post in words will not do it justice.

Assisted with a Rockville 2 farad capacitor.

Leds are wired to subs and bass drivers and turn on when via bass hit.

So far, the sound is great without tunning frequencies, etc.

Check out the latest pics. Youtube vid of the leds coming soon! If anyone is interested in this setup or a variation of it PM me.
