Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior board to replace rear seats

OK, several people have asked me for the dimentions of a board to cover the area left when you take the seats out... so here it is. The other thing that I did was put a 1" x 1" piece of wood on the bottom of the front edge of the board.

You da MAN!!!

How thick was the board, and did you paint it?


Also, you wouldn't happen to have the dimensions of a board that can be put where the spare used to be, do you?

Ever since I took my spare out, I havn't been able to put anything in the trunk because the flimsy piece of particle board will break.

Pics!!!!

That's like the top of my box for my subs...my subs are in my rear seats and the box is shaped like that.

thanks, jon. one day im' thinking about taking my rear seats out and replacing it with a sub box...so i can still have use of my 'trunk'

I took my back seat out and tried moving my box right behind the front seats, but it didn't sound nearly as good as when it was in the trunk. I suppose it's b/c the bass is more condensed in the trunk, providing a richer sound

^^ what if they pointed towards the rear still? pure bass shouldnt matter where you position your subs.

anyway, my job requires the use of my trunk...so i don't have much of a choice..just wondering how you had it set up and if the sound was really that noticeable.

i have my subs right over where the backseat was... and it sounds great... just make sure that the box doesn't block the output from the stock rear speakers, or it will sound funny.

^^ kk, gotcha. thanks...do you have your box before the rear subs..or does it kind of go under the rear subs?

here's my system... i know it's not really anything special, but it ALL cost me less than $200, so i won't complain.

oh yeah, and ignore the mess in the back of my car... i'ts gone now

how did you attach the board to the steel? just ordinary screws?

what kind of fabric did you put on the board?

i bolted the board to the hinges that held the seatbacks... and i covered the board with cheap carpet from autozone

cool thanks

thanks a lot i need to do that to my car i wanted to for the longest time but never knew the dimensions

good info, makes me want to do it now

sry bought the bump...
