Looking for a sub box that doesn't take up all your boot space? Well mate of mine has designed a sub box for a 12 inch sub that fits neatly in the boot without taking up all of your boot space. If you're interested in buying one they are $300 and consist of a fibreglass and mdf construction to make it very light. Most of the weight in it is the sub itself. You can still access your spare tyre easily and the box is easily mounted.

Can you still use the recline feature in the rear seats??? That's my biggest concern with a boot install...

I have my own ideas about ways around this but m\not sure of expense and feasablility

I was doing a few drawings when we first got the sportivo and there is enough room in the floor to mount them with what looks to be not alot of trouble or behing the back seats which will mean you'll loose about 3 inchs or so.

Havent had time to have a play but when im finished i'll let you know :)

can he make em to fit either side of the boot?

ive got 2 12 inch subs but in normal box havnt got much room in the boot at all.

so id definatly be interested in getting two of em for each side.

the amps and that are all out of the way mounted under my front seats so its just the matter of putting the subs in the new boxes and mounting them in place great idea.

is there any chance your mate would do it cheaper buying two instead of one?

This is my biggest problem as well ... I have been contemplating for a couple of months now on this ... do I do the install with / without the recline feature :huh:

I will try and answer all your questions so bear with me!!

My amps will be mounted under the front seats or if your amp isn't too big you could mount it beside the sub inbetween it and the back of the back seat.

As far as reclining the back seat down it still reclines back but it doesn't lock into place. The box stops it short of locking in by about 2 to 3 inches.

If enough interest is shown for a box for the LHS then we will make one. It will protrude into the boot a little more as the fuel filler is behind the LHS inner panel. A custom made floor will also be needed to with a slightly smaller hatch to access the spare and tools etc.

I will endeavour to try to hook it up and hear what it sounds like with a few other pairs of ears to listen as well.

What you will find with the box size is that depending on the actual sub you use, will depend on what sort of sound it produces, then match it up with the sizr box you need.

Contrary to popular myth, not all subs give massive dB with low end bass....

I run a single 12" Earthquake in a box a little over a cubic foot, giving me a 'tighter' bass sound and awesome kick (particularly noticable during high volume Linkin Park sessions) however, the real bottom end bass (under 100hz) I tend to miss out on.

If your looking for real loud and real low bass, then you will need a larger box and a sub with more power.

I just cut my box down a few weeks ago from a 2.5 cuFt where I did have a better doof doof sound....

Although I haven't yet heard this particular box of Silva's, although I have seen it with my own eyes (finally :) ) I am sure that it will give you a great sound and at $300 for a custom box, you can't go wrong....

NB: with regards to the amp location...I had made myself a mount for my amp which was located under the rear floor panel, in place of that little storage tray next to the spare. However, due to the design of this particular box that Silvabullit has presented, it would not be a suitable option.

My suggestions are either under the front seats, or make a custom amp rack on the opposite side of the boot (if you are running a single sub) as you won't need much space. Unfortunatly I can advise that you will NOT be able to mount the amp under the floor panel above the spare... :(

It does come down to your woofer's you can get JL's (W0) that work fine in tiny boxes or you can get a Earthquake Magma that run in tiny boxes that slam out some crazy low and very loud bass....

I'm interested in the internal volume of this box and id like to know if we can get em made for 10's...

Big bump here, but...

Did he make the other side, ie fuel filler side?

Got off my **** and started on the stereo in mine, making a false floor atm.

Would be nice to know what to work with.

Cheers.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
