False floor plans and ideas.. Need plenty of opinions and inputs!

Get 120mm or 140mm fans. The larger the diameter, the lower the RPM required to move air relatively to smaller fans.

yeah i m thinking about getting a pair of 120mm or maybe a set of 4 of those

Dappa5, a member here, designed me a top panel of the false floor that I am trying to achieve.. props to him..

here is the pic

I like it a lot.. but now I am thinking about ditching the fans since I think they kind of look out of place

Now I am thinking about asking him to make vents on the floor somehow and then I would install 2 of this Stinger Cooling Fans(click me) under the floor so that way it should be blowing the hot air out of the vent to keep the space under the floor cool..

what do you all think about this?

since you keep changing your mind here is another possibility. this is a piece i had cut from them a few years back when i had jl subs in a suzuki grand vitara. it was used similar to your ideas only the amps were mounted between a pair of sub boxes. i can't for the life of me remember how much it cost but it was reasonable enough for me to buy it. had to be like $75 or less. it was about 2.5' tall and 14" wide if i remember right. it was cut from a clear piece of material and 3/8" thick.

thats a nice idea but i dont want to do any logos since I want to be able to switch around different subs n whatever.. so that way I can use my floor anytime and not worry about what brand am I running..

But I dont mind something like Ford logo.. we will see what happens

(I think it is gay if I decide to get Omega logo on the floor and then later I end up getting something like Fi BTL then I am stuck with Omega logo so that is why I rather not to have any logos on it besides ford logo)

One idea to keep your amp cool, there is generally a vent in the trunks of most vehicles, I guess to prevent people from suffocating if they're locked in the trunk. If you can run a small pipe from that vent into the false floor, with a couple of fans at the front and the back, you should be able to get a LOT of cool air.

I could do that but I am thinking vent without any pipe will do just fine?

Yeah, my port should be blocked roughly 1/2 inch to 1 inch at the bottom, but I plan on adding 3/4 MDF on bottom of the box so that way it would be raised then the port will be unblocked..

thanks for your concern

Also I got another question here..

I am going to have about 1 and half inch to 2 inches of clearance between top of the amp and the top panel of the false floor..

I assumed that it is plenty of space to create airflow back and forth by using fans.. So should I be ok with that much of space between the amp and the top panel?

Let me know if it is not sufficient (I think it should be sufficient tho)

So my question is how is your port made?

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

huh?

the port is actually the aeros on the side of the slot port that you cant see unless you stick your head inside the port.. but then the slot port is a chamber where it becomes a compression box.. Mobeious, a member here, came up with that idea, not sure how he did that but I am very happy with this box.. It is called a compression box which is supposed to give me extra lows..

is that an answer to your question?

Yes.
