I got pm'd asking how to make it by huggy54 so figured i may aswell just post it up here so you can see how i did mine...

Take your standard boot carpet out... lay it onto a sheet of mdf, draw around it and use it as a template for your boot... then decide how much you wish to raise your false floor by (has to be atleast the height of your amp) you need to buy some planks the same height as this, or as i did two smaller height planks... I screwed the two planks together to get the desired height...

Then rest your sub box on top of your mdf board, and draw around it, you will need to cut out this area... do the same for your amp if you wish to have an amp window...

Then drill through the mdf board in lines, and screw planks of the desired height wood to the false floor (represented by the red lines on the diagram above)...
Don't forget to cut a small notch out on the front middle to you can get your hand underneath it incase you ever need to remove it...
Then you need to offer up the false floor into your boot... i guarantee you it won't fit first time... as the boot gets narrower the higher you get, as you have raised the floor you will therefore have to trim the mdf board, don't forget to do it in small bits.. as you can always take more wood off, but you can't really put it back on!... You should have a small gap around the edge to allow for carpet..

Once you are satisfied with the fit of your false floor you can carpet it, or finish it in several ways.. i bought some bass box audio carpet from ebay - it was about £7 and was plenty to do the whole false floor...
Trim the capet out leaving an overlap and simply fold the carpet underneath the floor and tac it down - or you could probably use a staple gun.. work slowly making sure you pull the carpet tight as you go, otherwise you will get saggy bits!..

Then once fitted back in your car you should get something like this..

I put corner brackets in my amp window and have fitted a sheet of acrylic so the boot space is usable.. i have also mounted a neon on the underside of the floor so it shines on the amp and lights it up at night :) neons can be wired directly into the power supply of your amp, but will need to have a switch...

Think that has covered all of it! if you have any more questions just give me a shout :geek:

Hope that helps!
