I doubt anyone can answer this without guessing as the hood (bonnet/boot) must be closed to measure it. i understand that it is pretty tight though.
Try this. Put a pile of modelling/sculpting clay on top of the strut bar, then close the hood and let it settle a bit, then open the hood and see how thick the squashed clay is. This would give you an aidea of how much room there is I would think. I don't know what else to try. Sorry.

Oops. I confused the boot with the bonnet. I am after all not an Aussie. Sorry.

Those are a set of 12's..
LOL that sounds a bit better Harry
the 10" subs ive bought have a mounting diameter of 231mm, so im happy, theyll fit with room to build a thick box
just another quick question, Harry did u measure the height with the boot matt fixed?

Plus, you could always trim it and re-stitch if necessary.

You know, after you put in all those speakers/amps in the car is will be probably a 1500kg+ car. That's pretty heavy (as the stock car is quiete heavy in the 1st place). Also all the extra weight will sit over the rear suspension ... not sure what that will do to the car, but Commodores will not be that much heavier. Not that is the end all, be all but it's just good to be aware of these things.
im only a small guy, so that should start me off with a few extra kgs to spare
seriously though, i dont buy into the whole "i spent 2K opening my gearbox and changing to this clutch coz it saved me 0.25kg" Dont get me wrong im not against performance mods, i want to fit one of those k&N Typhoon intakes, but im always skeptical about the claimed hp such mods give. For me itd be more about improving response and induction noise
id rather have a nice ICE system to listen to on the road every day, which is more my thing
i spose if u wanted outright acceleration ud buy a WRX for 30K less and mod that, with that much cash to spare itd be a 10 sec car
btw one more sleep to my test drive :shiftdrive:
