hi all i would like to put a sub and amp in the boot of the mini,

i love this design and want almost identical to it but red trim





my question is, how effective is the sub and what do you do with the current speakers on the parcel shelf? do i need to make a port hole in the shelf to allow the subs sound to escape?

any advice and piccys would help

thanks a lot

Sam

could always mount the speakers to a board and stick them under the rear seats?

Depends on what power sub you've got and whether you want tight bass for quicker music or more relaxed for hip-hop and r&b and that sort of thing?

If it was me i like a bit of every-thing so iv got a powerful 10" sub in a ported box and ported the boot as the sheer amount of air the sub was moving in the small space that is the boot on a mini blew the centers right out of the basket!!! Lesson learnt! Lol

If you where going to run a 12" sub in the boot id recommend porting the shelf if you've got speakers in the self!

Im not an expert on the subject but i do speak from experiance Hope this helps!

That's my Boo..!!!!

She had a 10" Vibe black air sub going through an Alpine single channel amp with an Alpine iDA-X1000 head unit..... sounded bloomin great.

EDIT... Chris from Retro Retrims put a couple of holes in the side by the way
