true but that is advertising a sub with a flash install to theives. I have had bad luck in the past with car theft so not prepared to risk it - Let me think about it,..unless you come up with another idea :)

Quote from: trotterI 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

Yup  I aready have cabling and stuff all done - just need a box/enclosure for sub speaker I am inkling to put in.

i dont know if im too late joining in here but i may have another idea for you. i will post some pics of my install tomorrow.

i wanted to have the best of both worlds- showing off and stealth! un-usual combination i know but it works very well.

i have a 12" sub housed in custom box designed and built to correct volume
to fit under the height of the parcel shelf (not an easy task believe me!) with the amp fixed to the box.

Stealth -
Allows for original shelf to be fitted for everyday use and to keep thieving chavs at bay!

Showing off -
i then costructed a two piece cover for the entire boot. these sit on top of the box, the top section surrounds the sub which is the same shape as the parcel shelf raised section. the lower piece covers the remaining boot area. i covered these with black vinyl material over foam padding to match the rear seat upholstery. And I still have room underneath for crap!

Pics tomoz asap then it will become a bit clearer! :Thumbsup!

It\'s nice but needs a custom box.

GOOD news is pioneer now make a flat 12" SUBWOOFER for flat/shallow boots! RARE but awesome.  Good brand and looks/sounds the bUsInEsS - pricey though and rare. pioneer TS-SW3041D <- check them out! they do come in a pioneer enclosed box too but its v.v.v hard to come by.
