hey guys i use my van for many different things, im in the process of starting a camper conversion but something removable/modular.

Currently its a Combi, so i have the sub sat behind the rear seats.

but when i remove the seats its in the way, or i have to move it!

i have thought about building it into a box around the rear arch (where the Jack originally sits in the small area there)

i have a leisure battery under my passenger seat and wouldnt fancy the sub vibrating under the drivers seat and doubt it would fit in anyway.

what have you done or what do you think?

nope!!

but thats exactly what i had in mind!!!!! lol

 

[nickhead]

i wonder if they will fit a t5...

 

[nickhead]

maybe something like this??

flattop for putting bits if needed.

just need to get the tape out and see if a 12" will fit in the gap with enough space to work properly.

will also need to mesh it, or maybe perferate the enclosure so it doesnt get damaged by tools or bits in the back hitting it.

will be carpetted anyway.

ill keep you updated. in the mean time any other ideas appreciated!

I put mine in the side panel.

Sound deadened and sealed.

Sub installed in panel.

Sounds great and no space used up.

 

[nickhead]

I have twin doors on mine so wouldn't go in there on mine!

That's not a massive space, what sub have you put I. There?

 

[Autokraft Paul]

It is a Focal 11" sub.

Done a number of these and there are a load of shallow subs available which only need a small enclosure.

 

[nickhead]

Do you think it would fit in the rear panel, above the wheel arch or to the side of it.

Rockford Fosgate have just started doing a shallow 10" sub that would go in there. Put them in the side panel before and they dont need a spacer ring.

Specs are here http://audiovisualworld.co.uk/shopping/products.php?product=Rockford-Fosgate-P3SD410-%252d-10%22-Punch-P3-4%252dOhm-DVC-Shallow-Mount-subwoofer

Have to make a template but i think it would go as it is less the 100mm deep.

 

[Autokraft Paul]

Or you could go for the Prime R2 which is slightly shallower and half the price but not quite the same punch to it.

Thats where I put a 12'' Rainbow vanadium in an old van, enclosure was glassed around the arch inside, away with work atm but will dig out a picture when back home.

You should be able to fit most subs in that spot this was quite a deep vanadium model (this was a bit rough in an old van but kept the space open nicely for crashing out in) front half of box had a lift up top for storage.

This is what im building, sub housing and storage.
