Looking to do a boot build, I've already selected the amp and subs I want just need to find the cheapest prices, any on-line places I should try

Buy a copy of Fast car or Max power magazine. I know you might not like the magazine but towards the back of the mag there are loads of companys that sell ICE. Some of these are VERY cheap for good quality items

Right I've got my basic components for my boot install, 2 600W amps and 4 12" subs, this is going to be big!! Just started making the enclosures for the subs, may have some done for the Hook meet

is that mdf?

**Phantom** · by **Phantom** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 2:27 pm

it's 12mm WBP ply, I thinks it's actually lighter than MDF

Hello mate, not sure if u should be using ply wood?? If u look on the manufacturers web sites with their recommended inclosures etc it always says made from mdf due to the density and stuff, makes the sound better. Not a chippy though so....

I'm only using ply cause it's free as I work for a building company, we don't use MDF we're not changing rooms you know

I'm no chippy but I did manage this so far, this is the main enclosure which will be sited behind the rear seats, the recess in the middle is for the power cap

splinter · by **splinter** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 3:39 am

Now that looks better. [img]/smile.gif[/img]
Looks like its going to look good.
But i still think you should of used MDF for the sub boxes !!!!!!
As that looks to thin.

Looks like its coming along nicely, hope the ply works out alright otherwise it will be a wasted effort-good luck..
