Interior Storage converted to ported speakers boxes

[streeteg]

Well, essentially since the car is not my daily driver the need for storage has since declined. I took the covers and used them to make templates. Took 1/4 inch think wood and sat them flush inside the boxes and monted the speaker in.

 

When I removed the carpet from the inside of the car there were two precut holes that were already on the bottom half of the storage boxes. I sealed them off and used finger protectors from shrink wrap to make small ports. the ports were cut to size and now I have two ported enclosures that give just the right amount of midbass in combination with the bazooka 6" sub to make an afternoon cruise that much more enjoyable.

 

I still have to figure out how I am gonna make the front of the setup look nice as it looks bootleg with the wood and the screws securing the ports. Either way if you are interested in putting in a nice sounding speaker system this one is extremely high quality.

Very nice. I did that on my 280Z too using Pioneer 6x9 triaxial speakers. However I don't have speakers in the floor like you do, I only have them mounted in the front of the storage bins on 1/2" plywood. The problem I have is the speakers aim straight into the back of the seats so the sound is muffled quit a bit killing off much of the mid and high freq. Since I have the interior torn apart anyway I might add some floor speakers like you did. No subs for me, I like bass but not to the point where the car shakes and my neighbors complain, LOL.

a 6" sub does nothing bad the lows that make the music enjoyable for me. The car doesnt shake or rattle and you cant even tell when you are outside the car that there is a sub. For 100 bucks + the cost of wiring it was a very "sound investment" (I know im corny)
