Boot Help!!!!!

[clio_massive]

im making a false floor in my boot, anyone know how 2 hold it up because my amp is resting under the false floor.

Two pieces of wood like a sandwitch should do it. Mount the amp on the bottom one then have the other above it with spacers.

ive also got a sub in the boot, wouldnt that make it rattle like a b**ch?

Nope not if the spacers are screwed into at least one of the floors, mine doesnt at least.

Just put some box carpet on the side of the spacers that arent screwed down if youre worried about vibrations.

You can make the floor in three sections with the middle section having the amp mounted to it. The 2 sides then have ledges for the middle one to be supported on when the section is down. Make the side pieces contoured to the boot sides and cover in carpet. This also fills in any gaps rather well. I used black acoustic felt/carpet. The thicker the pile the less precise you have to be in your cutting.

I used 1.5cm x 3 cm beech to make the supports glued and screwed to .5 cm MDF. Ply wood was used to create a frame for the perspex to rest on.

It only makes any sound when there is nothing in the boot and you hit a big pot hole. Ill eventually get round this be dyna matting the floor and maybe using some underlay to deaden any noise, but to be honest the noise is minimal



I hope this helps
