Mate how do you power the red neons? Do they just come when the boot opens??

you can have them on a switch that you can manually turn on/off from the main power source or you could tap into the boot light bulb for an automatic on/off source (wich you could also add a switch on!)

i've been wanting to put neons in for ages now. Trouble is i don't have a boot light.
Is there any other sources i could tap into to make it come on just when the boot opens?

you could try tapping into the amp feed? into the same connector with a switch on it so it not on all the time? i had mine like this at one point :)

Mate thanks for the suggestion but i'm no electrical expert so thats like a foreign language to me. A mate usually does all my electricals.

Would your sugeestion mean the neons come when i open the boot?

Fookin hell the last two posts are mega boot builds. Where do you guys get your stuff from or who makes it. I need to get some custom tweeter build for when I get my diamond comps. Where could I get that done?

Fatcatman what are the specs of your build. Power and rough price?

If you want a rough guide on how do do the tweets look here:
http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=233708

The First two install in the pics are Alpine m1000 monoblock (1000w rms) and two alpine two channel amps (100x2 and 50x2 rms) with infinity perfect components and 2 infinity perfect 12" subs.
My current stuff (not really pictured) consists of 2 Genesis dual monos (150rms x 2 each) and a USamps 2000x (2000w rms) with a 15" re audio xxx sub, CDT components and CDT midbass under the seats.

Price = a lot ;)

I did all the work myself

Thanks...

It was all designed and built by myself & my mrs over the space of a weekend. We went for the simple yet different approach and i think it worked. Space was tight to do something like that in a Mk2 Beeza boot, 12 " subs mounted onto 10" boxes :blink::p.

PLUS... Costs are not as much as you would think, especially as labour costs are Nil. ;)

Had the Tweeter builts done up in Fiberglass by the Mrs's Bro, colour coded Amirillo Bengala to match the Mk2 Beeza.

We havent got £££ to spent on ICE, but this seems to have gone down well, Boot-Shot Photo in one of the Modded Car Mags with a cuddly monkey hanging from the POWER/EARTH Cables, classic!!! Mankie Munkie Power!!

Is there anywhere you can buy direct a sub box that would fit to one side of the boot? I wouldn't mind an install but it's essential I have as much space as possible in my small boot.

What I've done in the past is stick 2 lengths of velcro to the underside of the Sub enclosure, then stick Two lengths IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION to the boot carpet directly. Then when you set your Sub down, the velcro will hold it in place PRETTY STRONG! And it will stay fixed, and wont start sliding around the boot.

Ok factcatman and eternal rage, 1. How do you still have windows in your cars? my slightly smaller build in my fiat used to pop the rear window out! 2. The mk4 has loads of interior rattles, does that not just pick up every little rattle?
