Here's the progress so far. Will be fiber glassing over the spare tire section and attaching to the floor.Before: Board cut out:Attached board to the factory hinges:Tomorrow I hope to cut out a hole to mount the sub in, and will post more pictures along the way.

Lookin good, can't wait to see the results! Where are you puttin the amp/amps?

Will wait to see how much room I have, but could end up being sunken into the fake floor too. I might be taking out the black plastic piece covering the spare tire, and seeing what kind of space I have to work with.If I take the black cover out, I should be able to move the spare over to the left some more, which should open up more space on the right to have the amp.

IMO that would probably be your best bet, That tray takes up alot of valuable real estate that could be used for audio BTW nice color choice on the vibe!

Man, Im feelin a bit high...hahaThe fumes from the fiberglass are pretty wicked.

Finished the fake floor/sub box.I think it turned out alright, but am not sure of the plastic cover.

Nice job! How does the sub vent through the grill?

Ya, I think I need to take it off. My neighbor works at the place that makes it, so i figured i would try it out. I guess I should just find an 8 or 10 inch grill to protect it

You could just make your own. When I did my first false floor in the vibe I made a mdf ring, cut a cirlce out of 1/4" abs plastic, drilled a lot of holes in the new make shift grill. Worked like a charm.

that looks good. i actually still dont have grills and still haven't plastered my subs in yet. any more pics of the inside of the box?

looks nice and flush, but i agree about the grille

what i ended up doing was using the factory grill for the sub, and it looks alot better then that piece of plexiglass

NICE!!!!!!That has a much better look! I bet you get a little better sound as well.

So how does it sound?

looks WAAAAAYYYYY better! I got say... good job on this one man. I LOVE subtle mods like this! (and hey....when we playin mw2 again? I know I suck at s&d but i'm killer at domination or team death! 1.54 k/d !)

It actually sounds relaly good, better than i thought it would for just an 8". It's being powered by an alpine 500 watt mono sub amp, and ran a bass control remote from the front, so i can turn it down a bit when the gf's in the car, haha
