Default Custom boot installation

hey guys

ive got 2 type R 12" subs and a V12 mono powering the subs and a normal V12 for the speakers that i took out of my old car and im looking and installing them into my GC8 but the box that i had the subs in in my liberty will fit in my GC8 but i wont have any space at all so i was looking at getting a custom boot installation done if anyone has a similar custom set up with 2 subs + 2 amps can u post up some pics or advice? would be much appreciated

1) Do you want to be able to use the boot as a boot and do you need a spare? ie you could put the subs in a custom fibreglass enclosure that takes up the spare wheel well and flush mount the amps in a false floor. Doesn't lend itself to bringing the groceries home but works well and looks good. Also becoming quite popular and not really adventerous.

2) Have an enclosure built that sits up against the back seats with subs pointing forward/up/backwards and mount the amps on the box leaving enough space to get to the spare and leaving enough room for a weekender type bag/s. Cheap, quick and does the job. Only downside is it looks like 90% of the installs out there.

3) Have 2x fibreglass enclosures built so you have one sub on the inside of each rear quater panel and have the amps mounted against the rear seats on a piece of MDF. This will give you the most space to keep using as a boot but will also cost the most and take the longest, not to mention it can make changing blown globes in the brake light housing a PITA.

Only one sub but gives you and idea of what you can do and still keep some boot space, there's a cover over the sub normally which breathes and lets you put shit on.

Speaking of MEA, is anyone else having trouble viewing half the stuff on there? The for sale section especially?
