Default Custom trunk for the 370Z

Here is my custom trunk i jist finiahed building. Turnaround- 1 week.

Intro: It's crazy how much you can get done with time on your side, patience, and a little knowledge to feed the brain. I started to follow through with this idea to build a custom trunk floor for my sub and add extra components and tweeters to the rear last Friday (7/31).

One week later, with a lot of hard work and determination, the project is about 90% complete.

What's left: I now just need to spray foam and dynamat parts of the trunk for added insulation and sound dampening, a new 10" sub, a mono amp, a dedicated battery (optima yellow top), capacitor, and a wiring kit to complete the installation.

I wanted to keep this custom build clean. Of course there are some slight imperfections but i always learn from my mistakes and will perfect my craft. Thanks to @harringtonkevin for the initial help in organizing the maze of wiring i once had. Wiring the third time around was truly a charm��


FEEL FREE TO CHECK OUT MY CUSTOM TABLET INTEGRATION BUILD HERE : Tablet integration into my 370z (without using the cubby)


Parts:(complete list to come soon)

- The wood is oak plywood.
- Leather upholstery vinyl.


Audio/video setup: Galaxy tab 4 7" (wired to no longer need your stock HU - you'll lose your steering controls but w.e.)
- Polk Audio MMs, tweeters and crossovers front
- Polk DB, tweeters and crossovers, rear

Future additions:

- recess the amp so it sits flush
- replace current Kenwood typhoon 10" 700W to a JL audio brand 10"
- Add a JL audio mono amp just for the subs
- additional amp wiring kit
- capacitors and power distribution block
- LED lighting



If anyone is interested in something like this, feel free to PM me.

Thanks.

Looks good! I'm actually doing a full custom trunk right now. All the panels are being replaced with fiberglass, and 2 12" subs. I wanted to go with something more similar to your design, but I know I'll toss something back there and puncture the sub, even with a grill.

Default My rear deck

I custom made two panels that fold together to include my amps and sub, but I may be evolving this look in the future. I will include some night pictures soon.

Default Refined prototype

As promised, I decided to learn from my mistakes from the prototype I built 2 weeks ago or so. He are some teaser pics of what is to come.

- dynamat the trunk (only thing left is the door)
- wrapped my 2 farad capacitor
- amp enclosure with cooling fan to be mouted flush into the false floor sitting atop the amp enclosure
- jl audio 300.4 amp recessed on the false floor
- multiamp wiring kit:
