Tuning VAZ 2109

As mentioned earlier, the optimal price-quality option for a sound system on a VAZ 2109 would be to install 4 speakers, two in front and two in back. There are no problems with the front seats, since there are standard places for 13-inch speakers in the front panel. For those who don't have 13 inches, they can make podiums for the front doors and install speakers with a diameter of 16. The rear standard places for speakers in the plastic inserts on the sides of the rear shelf are no good - they are too small to reproduce more or less noticeable bass, and the standard shelf is too flimsy to support the 6x9-inch oval speakers that are most suitable for placement in it.

The goals of creating an acoustic shelf in the VAZ 2108

As a rule, installing an acoustic shelf in a VAZ 2108 has two purposes:

Installing the shelf will reduce the noise inherent in standard shelves installed by the manufacturer;
Installing a shelf will provide an opportunity to create a solid foundation for further installation of acoustics.

Note. All this taken together solves the main problem: improving the acoustic system.

What can a shelf be made from?

MDF shelf drawing

A common material for an acoustic shelf is MDF or multi-layer plywood. Be sure to cover the surface of these materials with carpet or other acoustic material to ensure compliance with the overall design of the interior. As for the area for installing speakers, they must be made so firmly that they completely eliminate rattling and vibration.

Correct installation of the shelf

The second stage of work will be preparing the space for the new acoustic shelf. First, you should soundproof the interior of the Lada Grant. So that there are no rattles and no noise is heard when moving. The layer of insulating material must be very thin. Otherwise, the new design will not fit into its place.

Shelf Lada Granta

After insulation, the element with speakers is installed. It is important to take into account the rules for connecting to the audio system, since the rear shelf on the Lada Granta is connected to the front panel. The wires are laid along the thresholds. To prevent damage, the wires are hidden in special tubes. After this, the wiring is connected to the radio wires.

Making a shelf with your own hands

Acoustic shelf for VAZ 2109

So, if we decide to make a shelf with our own hands, then go ahead. A ready-made acoustic shelf costs about 1,000 rubles in a store. Why waste extra money if you can make everything yourself, spending some of your time and receiving inexpressible pleasure from the process. A homemade shelf has advantages over a purchased one, and it’s simply impossible not to notice.

Start

To make a shelf for a VAZ 2109, you will need to prepare.

Materials

Plywood or MDF.
Macroflex.
Glue (one can is enough).
Several meters of carpet.
Self-tapping screws.
Polyurethane foam.
Sanding paper.
Standard rear shelf made of plastic.
Small nails (furniture).
A simple pencil.
Tape measure or simple ruler.
Screwdriver.
Drill with drills.
Brush.
Construction stapler.

Tools

Note. As mentioned above, the ready-made standard shelf of the VAZ 2109 is used as a model. Therefore, it will need to be removed. A simple screwdriver, a little patience and time - the shelf is dismantled.

We place this very shelf, cleaned of dirt and dust, on a flat table.
We lay a sheet of chipboard on top.
Take a pencil and carefully trace the edges intended for the seat belts.
Draw ovals for the speakers with a pencil.

How to mark an acoustic shelf

Main stage of work

Acoustic shelf for VAZ 2109

This includes the manufacture of acoustic podiums, the construction of a box for seat belts, pasting and much more.

Podiums

We also make the base of the podiums from chipboard.
We work with a jigsaw.
To give the structure additional rigidity, you need supports made of bars measuring 20x40 mm. There should be several pieces of bars and they are inserted between the ovals using screws.

Note. The podiums, as mentioned above, are made on a separate piece of chipboard.

We place the podiums on a standard shelf and trace them with a pencil.
We also mark with a pencil the places of the round holes intended for air intake from the trunk.
Between the bars of the podium, voids appear that need to be filled with sealant. As for the holes inside the product itself, they are covered with cardboard. This will prevent the foam from falling out during the drying process.
Fill with polyurethane foam.

DIY shelf

We wait until the foam dries completely.
Take a sharp knife and carefully cut off the excess.
We process the surfaces with sandpaper.
Now we impregnate a piece of nylon with epoxy glue and wrap it around the entire structure. This is done for strengthening and strength.

Making a box for belts

Note. When making a box, the following point must be taken into account: the belts must enter the box from the side.

We outline the places with a pencil.
Cut with a jigsaw.

Covering with carpet

Pasting can be done using clothespins.

Note. After these operations, the boxes are assembled and screwed in place.

The final stage of work

The final stage involves installing the manufactured shelf in place. Bolts attached to the metal part of our “nine” can be used as clamps. The nuts must be attached to the trunk side.

Advantages of an acoustic shelf

VAZ 2109 acoustic shelf

Today you can purchase an acoustic shelf in specialized stores. Its cost is not that high, although it is still recommended to do it yourself. In any case, whether the shelf is purchased or made with your own hands, it will provide advantages:

The acoustic shelf creates improved sound from the speakers.
Thanks to the shelf, rattling is significantly reduced and other unnecessary sounds are eliminated.
This shelf harmonizes perfectly with the interior of a car such as a VAZ 2109.
After installing the shelf in place of the standard rear panel, there is a unique opportunity to use the entire useful volume of the trunk to play music. In other words, in this case the luggage compartment plays the role of a kind of acoustic box.
The acoustic shelf protects from external attacks. Therefore, such an installation is called hidden. If everyone saw that you have expensive speakers in your car, the likelihood of theft would increase several times.
The shelf allows you to install speakers of any size. If you make a shelf yourself, this will give you even more possibilities.

Acoustic shelf VAZ 2109

Note. To hide budget types of speakers or for some other reason, the panels are covered with special materials that do not distort the sound. In addition, when choosing or manufacturing shelves, special attention is paid to options for different sound directions. On the shelves it is possible to build so-called scenes. In this case, the sound can come from different angles in different directions: to the rear window, into the passenger compartment or trunk.

Features of fastening and removal

Despite the apparent simplicity of this operation, the process of removal and reinstallation should not lead to subsequent rattling or distortion. The fact is that the material from which the rear shelf is made is quite fragile and cannot withstand even a small load. Therefore, the need for careful removal and installation is directly related to the longevity of its use. In some cases, you even make a VAZ 21099 shelf with your own hands.

The fastening of the shelf, taking into account the fragile plastic used on the VAZ 21099, is carried out using special plastic pistons. To release them, you need to remove the central part of the piston, after which it can be easily removed by hand. Having released the pistons, remove the central shelf.

Typically, removing the center shelf alone is not sufficient to gain access to the top of the shock absorber. At the edges, the rear shelf is attached to the side ones, which are where the speakers of the acoustic system are installed.

The speaker shelves are attached to the internal panels using a self-tapping screw and a piston similar to the one discussed above. Therefore, by carefully unscrewing 2 screws and releasing the piston, you can gain access to the shock absorber strut and standard acoustics. To raise the shelf you need to remove the wires from the speaker tips.

After removing the central part and the side elements that make up the rear parcel shelf, you can replace the struts and gain access to the torsion bars of the trunk lid hinges.

Where does the creation of a rear shelf for a Priora hatchback begin?

The first step in creating a high-quality acoustic shelf is the selection of materials for the body and the box outline itself. Here, the most popular among Priora hatchback owners are inexpensive types of wood materials, such as chipboard, samples of thick plywood or MDF boards. Such materials tolerate moisture well and have good durability indicators - on average, an acoustic shelf on a Priora will last you 5-6 years. The next stage of choosing materials comes down to selecting a method for connecting the cut out parts of the shelf layout and covering it. To glue the parts together, it is best to use carpet. Working with it is quite simple and the end result should definitely please you. It does not leave marks or burrs at the joints. However, many Priora hatchback owners choose more expensive combinations of materials to implement their ideas - for example, covering a body made of natural wood with leather. The last stage in preparation is to create a sketch or layout of the future shelf for the trunk or sidewalls. Here you need to accurately measure all the corners and sides of the car and recreate the image of the future shelf, indicating the places for the speakers.

Attention! Often, the rattling of the shelf is associated not so much with the use of low-quality materials, but with the occurrence of vibration after improper fixation of the rear shelf in the trunk. That is why, before checking the operation of the system, be sure to ensure that the rear side of the structure is firmly secured to the corners of the machine using appropriate fasteners.

How to make a trunk shelf on a VAZ 2109

Today it is rare to meet a car enthusiast who is content with the standard equipment of his car. Modern drivers are increasingly engaged in styling (from the English word “styling” - style), i.e. change the interior of the car and its appearance in order to stand out from the general flow of vehicles. At the same time, owners of domestic cars do not lag behind the owners of foreign cars, and sometimes even surpass them in design ideas translated into reality. In this article we will give an example of how to make a trunk shelf on a VAZ 2109 with your own hands at the lowest cost from simple and affordable materials.

We cut according to the template.
Tools that will be needed for work:

decorative handles for furniture;
plywood;
cardboard;
upholstery material;
adhesive mixture (universal glue);
two hinges for furniture.

Shelf reupholstery

Upholstery material

Reupholstering the acoustic shelf on a VAZ 2109 can be the most problematic part of the job. That is why we devoted a separate chapter to it in our publication. Every owner of a VAZ 2109 dreams of making the interior of their “nine” more comfortable and attractive. An acoustic shelf is not only an element that serves a practical purpose, but also a separate component of the entire interior. For this reason, she needs to be able to give a style that is beautiful and consistent with the overall design. The material most often used is carpet. On the other hand, if the interior itself is covered with leather or a substitute, or maybe Alcantara, covering the shelf with the same material will come in very handy.

Trunk upholstery VAZ 2109

Replacing trunk upholstery for VAZ cars

Upholstery (lining) of the trunk of any car is a necessary thing in many respects. Moreover, as practice shows, it often performs not only utilitarian functions, but also purely aesthetic ones. A classic example is the lack of upholstery on the top trunk lid of Grant model cars. Many drivers do not like it when metal and not very beautiful three recesses are visible when the cover is open. This fact was used by a number of manufacturers who began to produce and sell upholstery options for the top cover to owners of cars of this brand. And quite expensive.

Trunk upholstery, even made from high-quality materials, will wear out or become damaged over time. The operating time largely depends on what and under what conditions the driver transports in the trunk of his car. If you are faced with just such a situation when it is necessary to replace the car trunk trim, then refer to the catalog of our store, and we will not only promptly deliver the ordered goods, but we will also briefly tell you how to replace the upholstery yourself.

This procedure is quite simple on many VAZ family cars. To do this, you only need a Phillips and slotted screwdriver. This operation is performed in several stages (for VAZ 2106, 2105, 2107):

Using a slotted screwdriver, you need to disconnect the plastic buttons for the rear mounting of the trunk mat.
In the same way, you can disconnect the three rubber buttons on the front fastening of the trunk mat and remove it from the car.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, you need to unscrew six (or more, depending on the modification) screws securing the rear trunk trim.
Now you can remove the rear trunk trim.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, you now need to unscrew the five screws and remove the right trunk trim.
Then, using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the six screws and remove the left trunk trim along with the spare wheel cover.
Using the same screwdriver, remove the self-tapping screw and the trim of the rear left arch.

Now you can install the new trunk trim. The procedure is performed in reverse order.

Additional Information

The lid rises with the trunk.
If desired, the shelf lid can be connected to the trunk door using a spring or rubber band. In this case, the lifting part of the shelf will rise along with the trunk door.

In conclusion, it is necessary to pay attention to the financial component of the issue. Self-manufacturing of a trunk shelf for a VAZ 2109 will cost the vehicle owner much less than the cost of services from service station specialists.

Step-by-step instructions for independent production of VAZ 2109

First, you should find the points where the decorative handles of the future design will be fixed, then drill holes in selected places that are necessary for mounting the clamps and installing the handles.

Cutting out the moving part

Then, of course, move on to making a shelf template. It is important to take into account that the structure will have a moving part, which should be marked on the cardboard template using cuts. With all this, it is strongly recommended to make sure that the movable part of the structure for which the lifting structure is intended does not come into contact with the arches of the car trunk.

What is the volume of the body of a VAZ-2109 car?

Inside, the trunk suits car owners and does not cause any complaints, although its dimensions are somewhat smaller than those of the Priora and Kalina. The latest models are quite large, for which car enthusiasts appreciate them. But the VAZ-2109 also has its advantages and features. The car can comfortably fit 5 people of average weight. The low-mounted dashboard is very convenient; modern electronic components can be built in there, but this requires a lot of money. A small drawback of the body is that it is made of plastic and noise is occasionally heard. Subsequently, the trunk requires technical modernization. This is not difficult to do, and the financial costs for this work are insignificant.
