right here are the pics everyone:

Step 1, sted had a leak in the boot so we had to sort that out, so covered the thing in blue waterproof sheeting.

step 2, this is one i prepared earlier, steds side panels.

step 3, covered steds box in black leatherette, and made the holes for the subs to go in.

[Linked Image]

step 4, put the subs in the box, very nice!

[Linked Image]

step 5, fitted the box in the boot and then covered bit of wood to sit in front.

step 6, Voila!!

looks nice, wot didnt you stick the vynal down with???
Top job lads!!!!
Posted By: djrenegade Re: my boot - 15th May 2005 9:54pm
we used spray adhesive but because the leatherette stuff was all folded up and not in a roll, there were big creases which i cudnt get out, i heard that if you put a towel over it, you can iron it so might suggest that to sted.

Maybe considering using a staple gun next time, that way you can staple one side down, pull the other side tight and then staple that side down also ???

Possibly use the adhesive also ????
Posted By: aceritz Re: my boot - 15th May 2005 10:53pm
for best results lay the carpet/vynal out face down, spray both the wood and covering with spray adhesive and leave for 5 mins, then when it is tacky apply and rub over with your hands, once you know wot you are doing you can be a bit more lax with spraying it
Posted By: djrenegade Re: my boot - 15th May 2005 10:56pm
thanks for the advice, will try that next time smile

and scooby, we did use staples too lol
Posted By: aceritz Re: my boot - 15th May 2005 11:18pm
if you used staples you couldnt have pulled it tight enough, wot spry did you use???
Posted By: djrenegade Re: my boot - 15th May 2005 11:42pm
it was audioleads spray adhesive from halfords, and we had steds neighbours heavy duty staple gun.
Posted By: aceritz Re: my boot - 15th May 2005 11:56pm
mmmmmm, just next time, it might sound a bit daft, but just take your time on it
