I don't have pics but I have a 8" solobaric in a sealed enclosure and a 500W amp powering it in the spare tire space. It is mounted to the bottom of the tray with a hole for the sub to fire through. I also have a 8" kicker mid-woofer in a sealed enclosure over the gas tank and the amp for it also in the spare tire space. I then put low profile grilles over the holes and use a cover over the tray so the grilles don't scratch the window plus it's pretty stealth. I'm still trying to figure out where to put my highs amp and what to get but it can't be in the trunk because I'm constantly traveling and need all the room for luggage. I may be able to put up photos next week when I'm home.

Thanks man!

I am not sure where i am going with the system. I am just collecting some data/ideas . However i do have a budget i like to stay on.

For one i do need my trunk space. I want something nice and clean finished.
I seen alots of stealth boxes, although i think they're really nice place to put the sub. But i think it would sound alots better if the sub is in the spare tire area.

Clean sound is the most important to me, i don't care for everyone to hear me from a block away. And able to listening to music with the top down at 80 mph.

Any feed back, advice is Thanks.

hey budget man, check out this driver, Ive used it a number of times. very nice product.

http://www.apexjr.com/speakerstuff.html

a little ways down 'Apex Jr Super 8" subwoofer $39.95' I thought about it for a while and I could prolly fit 3 into the spare space in a pinch but I think 2 would be respectable. his site looks ghetto, but he's got good stuff. Let the opinions fly.
