Puncture+subwoofer=grrrr......

[Marshallahsram]

Just got home after having a friggin puncture. Id been in a local supermarket, came out, got in my car, started to reverse out+ thort this steering feels heavy!! i got out to have a look, and it was my front left!!

The first thing i noticed was the guy next to me had parked about 12inches nxt me. And then i remembered my sub!! lol. Ive got a 12inch ported sub box screwed down in my boot, not to mention all the other random shite ive got in there:quiet:

It took me 15mins to get my spare out, fighting with the sub box,and boot floor, and 3 mins to change the wheel!! lol.

Not quite sure what the moral to this story is,its not not to hav a sub, cos i love it, but.......suggestions?!?!

have a sub but screw it down to a false floor so it can be easily lifted out in on piece, or build a custom sub box that goes in the recesses at the side of the boot

put subs in parcel shelf....

I needed the boot space.

I got a puncture in mine the other week and don't have a spare.... I had to call the Dutch equivalent of the AA to come and pick up my wheel, get it repaired and bring it back again. Felt like a right twonk though.

Loving that mike!! Hav u screwed all that to the standard shelf!?!?! (it kinda looks like it!)

Ive got my ported box, with sum L brackets coming off the back, screwed into the plastic bulkhead(?) works great (stops it sliding around,keeps sum of the boot usable etc) until i have to get to the spare wheel!! lol, damn! Ill look into how u hav mounted urs tho,looks good

For> Hair moving bass
Against>2nd puncture in 65k miles, in 3 years

If it was a regular thing, id hav to reconsider, but the positives out weigh the negatives :lolup:

Bloody hell Mike!

Didnt expect to see that in your boot!

I ended up using strips of velco to keep my sub held in place and its never moved an inch.

Alot easier than messing about with false floors thats for sure.

looks amazing but dont the subs need a box round the back of them to give them the proper kick they have?? or does it not make a difference if they are like this

^^^ Free air subs mate. Designed to not need a box.

Get your tyres sealed, will stop punctures.
