False floor boot build. How did you make yours?

[Josh@TunerLifestyle]

Right guys!

I am looking at making a false floor for my glanza just dont know where to start or how to go round measuring it! I have seen a few people who have done it and id like to know how did you get the measurements?

Also where to get carpet and maybe some foam underlay to stop the wood rubbing?

Any ideas / pics / guides would be perfect!

Cheers

if u look WAAAAAYYYY back through my build thread u will see the process that Pandamonium and I used to make mine.

basically, sound deadening, big bit of MDF with a hole in it in the right place for the sub and smaller holes for the amp wires, fibre glassed down, smaller pieces to fill the sides, then PVA'd Autoleads Audio Carpet on top of the wood, and job done.

As for a template I used the boot carpet to draw around for mine and it sits ontop of the plastic trim in the boot

i did same as jimmy for the boot half and my front half was just abit of trail and error lol got rough measurements and kept cutting bits off untill it fitted lol.

i got the carpet for my old falce floor from a market near me lol

I want a strong false floor in the GT so I can use the boot (spare is gone) but I want it to be light hmm

Mines quite light but it can take my weight haha it's just thinish chipboard strengthened with timber underneath lol

with wood haha

nah just trial and error at the end of the day, use the boot carpet as a rough guide and you cant go wrong from there dude

[Josh@TunerLifestyle]

Not got a boot carpet

[ryan lang]

ahh dayum! surely some one local can lend you one?

When I did mine I used 18mm MDF it's slightly heavy but tbh it's rock solid and Can't complain anything from 8mm up should be good depending on what's sitting on it
