Dunno if this should go here or in fabrication? Has anyone ever made a 4th gen style t top storage tray and gotten rid of their bag? Have a single subwoofer I’m mounting in the back to finish the sound system and the bag really isn’t an option for me the way I am gonna do it. Was hoping mabie someone had come up with a vertical tray storage idea? If not I’m about to and will document it for those that want to know.

 

I know I read about that being done...which mean 98% chance that was here on TGO.

 

OK, a search turned up several threads about wanting to do it, and some home made solutions, but nothing as clean as bolting in a 4th gen piece and it works.

Perhaps some thought starters in here for you...

Thanks Dave! I Am Thinking Something fiberglass to keep the weight down. I just gotta think on it more this is the space I'm working with. Don't mind the wires I haven't wired the powered unit in yet.....

 

That current sub does seem to limit your options. It takes up too much of the well to use that, and it sits above the axle "hump", so laying them, or a container of some sort, flat is difficult at best.

 

I've had some rediculous setups in the past, ended up with a box I made for the bottom "well" which I've liked the best. Good sound and out of the way.
I ended up hiding the amp where the spare would be normally. I dont have the spare in the car.

 

I would suggest using a box like mine. You can keep you T- top bags and it looks good and sounds great, It utilizes the depth of the back to help with bass as well. You can't see it unless you pull your bags back. Any decent stereo shop can build it. Mine is a 10"

 

Mines a self enclosed unit with the amp built in. I’m starting to get some ideas hopefully this weekend I can draw some rough sketches and will post them. I think if I can build it the way I’m thinking a lot of people will like the design. Just gotta start putting brain ideas to paper lol

 

have finally started on this I have to order carpet yet and cover it may re cust it one more time but so far I am happy with it.

 

Now color me interested, I like where this is going as well, Please when your done post a schematic , I think I'd also like to do this as i don't like the bag either.

 

I have not forgotten about this wife is pregnant with our second kid and I messed up my back and finally had surgery 2 weeks ago so I haven't felt like messing with this until Recently I will draw up a schematic on fusion 360 when I finally finish this for those interested.

 

Cool Still interested, and Congrats, and ouch.

 

Leave them in a rack in garage

 

Yeah that doesn't really work in the real world when you 25 miles from home and it starts raining.

 

I haven’t drove in the rain since the 70’s. Rain, car stays home.

 

Yeah i here you.. But I'm of the mind .. I don't care anymore.. I'm going to drive the car rain or sun .. I just want to enjoy it.. And im definitely not saving it for anyone else. Future or present.

 

I’d just chuck em in the back then. At least your cars are a hatchback, sec Gen there’s no where to put them.

 

Well got a little problem with that. Not much room and i don't know if I'm putting the Backseat back in. Hence why i would love to have the dimensions for his idea.
