Roadster trunk enclosure ideas - HELP!

fonZie · 03-03-2011, 10:01 PM

Okay need some ideas. I do not have a spare, so a lot of room to play with. I want to run a single 10, 12 or shallow mount 13 in the trunk. The max mounting depth is 6.5". I calculated around 1.5 - 1.75 cu air max to play with. I have considered 1) making a mold using the foam insert, 2) making a good ole fashion rectangular box or 3) masking off the whole area and glassing from scratch. What do you think?

I did not know convertible did not come with a spare tire.

It looks like you have tons of room to work with. You can easily do a slim sub. not necessarily need a slim sub. using the foam to do an enclosure is a great idea. You may want to see if you can fire the sub in to the floor and vent it into the trunk which will create a much better responce for you. That will also allow you to have usefull trunk space. you will still be able to put struff on the trunk floor.
