Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 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!

Nanglebadger Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 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.Phil.

jimmymac101 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 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 James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
