hmm, i didnt even notice those holes when i took that panel off to get to the rear speakers but thats a good idea to work with!
i think im going to replace the whole floor in my trunk to like 1/2 mdf because my original floor is sagging.

is your quarter inch ply wood mounted to anything? or is the sub box itself molded to fit the trunk? can you get any pics of like the rear view with the back seats down?

i pm'ed you with how i built it.. and man thats going to be heavy replacing the whole floor in mdf but you will NEVER have to worry about sagging again haha.

Also something that you might want to think about.. if your going to do a custom set-up in the trunk that is going to be somewhat permanent or hard to take out, your going to be screwed if you need to get to get to your battery or spare tire.. the advantage with the flex floor for me is that i dont need to mess with the box at all, i cant just pull it up.

hinges would work your right..
but i wouldnt like adding the extra unnecessary weight when you cant even notice the outcome. although i guess you could be creative with the mdf wood being the mat. easier to mount a sub box thats for sure. ha.
i still think its weird how the mat is sinking in. i would be pissed. Carrying a load of bricks over the spare for few months maybe?

well i dont know if i would use mdf or not i could use something alot thinner and not mdf. and i was also thinking about hinges before you guys mentioned it but thanks for the great ideas lol. and if i build a sub box, there will be a floor for just it, and then a sperate floor starting where its at and going to the end of the trunk, so that would make it easier to take out.

and i dont need the carpet JJ thanks though! im probably going to use vinal..not trying to copy, but ive just wanted to do this forever.
thanks.
