I really like it. The only thing I would change is to make the box follow the lines of the floor exactly...i.e. contour around the wheel wells, etc.

I think it's fantastic though. Very cool.

i've always been interested in a stealth setup similar to this but it makes me wonder about the bass quality compared to a conventional box

I ended up building a similar setup with a friend (as shown below), but for now my amps will need to stay above the false floor as they got a bit too hot. I have a few options but for now I am thoroughly enjoying the extra bummmpp!

Below was my setup in my Integra.

I was running a Kappa 255a 5 Channel Amp with 2 10" kappa free-air subs. the subs were just forward of the amp/door. what you see above the door is the hatch cover (just kind of hooked over the top to keep up the sub door. This Setup raised my trunk floor about 4" and the sub magnets sat next to the spare tire (slightly forward and off to one side - about 1/2" from the spare tire tread). Didn't have to remove the spare which was nice... The factory carpet laid flat to the back of the car so you had no idea there was a system back there, even with the hatch open. There was about a 2" drop at the front of the rasied floor (right behind the back seats) but it didn't affect anything because the back seats never layed flat, about a 15 degree angle sloping towards the back of the car) Still have everything from the car - will probably sell and just put a basslink in the back. I really don't have time to do this level of work again... Plus my priorities with a 3 yr old have changed a little.
