Posted April 18, 200817 yr I'm looking for options for sub placement so I can keep as much of my trunk as possible (because I haul a ton of sh*t). My spare tire well hasn't been used since I did my deadening and to me it's just wasted space. My question is how do spare tire well installs sound? I've seen tons of them, but never heard one in person.Any other options so that I can retain as much trunk space as possible?And FYI, I'm planning on a simple 10" or 12", nothing too crazy.
April 18, 200817 yr Done properly, I don't see why it should sound different than an equivalent sealed enclosure elsewhere...

Hold on, and i'll find some pics.
April 18, 200817 yr Author They actually sound pretty good, I used to have an extreme spare tire well install... Hold on, and i'll find some pics.Yeah if you have some pictures that would be great!And I completely understand why it wouldn't/shouldn't sound any different then any other typical enclosure, because it is just that, another enclosure. But I am a bit hesitant as to why I don't see more of them, that's why I'm asking if they sound good or not. Is it because people just don't want to spend the time to do it and/or don't want to loose their precious spare tire?

The recent DIYMA installs have been less then desirable in terms of creativity... slide box "A" into trunk "B" sort of installs if you know what I mean. Guess I need to start looking a bit harder.
April 18, 200817 yr Author Dang man that is extreme! Thanks for the picture, gives me some ideas now.
April 19, 200817 yr Author Thanks for all of the pics!i wanna post mine!I said I wanted to keep as much space as possible... That does look nice though.

April 19, 200817 yr Author and here are the rest of the pics of my first system.http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2325907/2I just got finished looking at the pictures and crap man that really sucks.If I didn't need my trunk space I would love to go all out, BUT like I said I haul a ton of stuff all over the place and need my precious trunk.

If so i would of hoped you stripped that puppy clean before the insurance company came to pick it up Edited April 19, 200817 yr by blue86f150
