Can you get a premade 12" sub box into a rx7?

[Archbish]

By the way Archbish that looks fantastic

Cheers dude - all my own work!! *grin*

[dreamers]

Ok here are pics

I show my old sub for 2 reasons - 1) i cant b bothered to unplug it :Giggle

2) potentially for a before and after comparison

apologies for receipt hanging under amp - more laziness from myself you can see to remove it.

Mounting Diameter 285mm

All to you interlopper

ok.. i played about today with a few idears, not knowing the depth of the sub it was kinda hard, id say with tho`s sizes your best bet is to remove the amp and have your speaker there.. a 12" speaker sits kinda weird as the only other place it cn go is the left side  just before the jack, like archbish.

[dreamers]

worried about leaving holes everywhere if i remove it. Its hard to visualise what your idea is without seeing it. Anyhow we still have no price from interlopper

Assuming it goes in centre and I remove amp (not sure where i\'d put it but hey!). Let me know..

[interloper393]

i was thinking a back build so it would cover the whole back seat but blend into the sides also, with your huge sub in the middle, always the option to cut a few more holes for smaller speakers if you wanted..

[dreamers]

sounds good - where would amp sit? And at what £$?

When you say cover back seat you mean so i am rear seatless?

[interloper393]

sits where your amp in the noo, facing the rear window bud, i reckon around 80-100 for the finished item, alot of work involved but will look ace

[dreamers]

sounds good - email me at
*removed* and we can discuss.

We can post pics of finished item here when done

[interloper393]

no probs, i`ll get the materials tomoz n start..have a gauge pod to finish for a friend, but shouldnt take long lol..

[dreamers]

takin my email off in a mo - dont like it being public - i aint no pansy girl u kno - long story behind that email .. too long - lol

[dreamers]

BY the way if you can make it fit under parcel shelf that\'d be great.

[interloper393]

ok m8 have a better idear for you, it you want to keep the parcel shelf, how about i make a mould of the parcel shelf, flush the top, and bond in a curved speaker surround aiming at a angle out the rear window/or front.. this way you cn see your speaker from outside the car reckon this will be far better for ya bud.. with the boot shut and the shelf down, not alot of room.. let me know n throw a few idears up for ya..

I like these threads...lets me put in my 2p on a subject i know for once

The best way to get power into the boot is to find one of the existing grommets that gives access to the engine bay through the firewall  - not usually a good idea to drill your own!! After that get some heavy duty cable (u can calculate what specs you need from tables on the net) and an in-line fuse. Put the fuse as close to the battery as possible, then feed the cable through the firewall, under the interior trim and into the boot - -hey presto...VE HAFF POWER! lol

[shaunwil]

The best grommit for the job is the one thats behind the innner wheel arch, its nice and big

An average sub amp usually needs about 4AWG Cable too.

very ruff but along these lines bud, the full thing, will be fiberglass and the speaker will be blended in,.. quite smart with the cannon that you hav lol
