oh so basically i need something to cover the bottom of the sub?

 

lol yea but a little more then that.. Every sub has a required amount of cubic feet of air in a sealed box... U cant just put a cover under it, it has to be sealed (unless you make a ported box) and with the approprate amount of space for what the sub recommends..

 

damn well i guess im going to have to get a tire repair kit and get rid of the spare

 

Yes my goal is to install a sub where the spare tire is.

Yes I would agree you will pretty much have to give up on the spare tire. I think there was someone a long time ago who fashioned an enclosure that somehow sat on top of the spare (as you are suggesting?). I remember seeing a picture of it but it was so long ago...

Stealthsux, your solution looks pretty good. What size subwoofer are you using? Do you know your approximate net volume? How does it sound?

 

na i was suggesting mounting the sub where the convertible top folds into and port it with 2, 2 inch holes on either side of the sub. the air space that is available where the spare tire is and the gas tank is. if i did the configuring right which i think i did it is a perfect size for my sub for best quality sound

 

sorry i'm not so good at visualizing things so I don't get what your solution will look like. Sounds interesting, though.

Yes, absolutely there is lots of air space below the tray that holds the convertible top, even if you keep the spare tire.

 

What size sub are you using? How does it sound? I wanted to do this but I feel like it would rattle like crazy in there.

The tray would rattle pretty bad with the sub in the tool well, I couldnt imagine how bad it would rattle with the sub in the spare tire well.

I love it though, you get to keep all of the little bit of truck space we have!

ill help you imagine what im saying. go to your S, get in, turn around and look back into the space where it folds into. look right into the middle because thats where i may mount mine. plus i now found out that i need another amp
i used my 4ch amp for my front components and rear components. didnt even think about it. but anyway i now need an amp for the sub now which i will have to remove the spare tire because thats where that amp has to sit.

 

The sub is a slim line kenwood excellon 12" sub..
its a little less then 1 cubic foot of air space..
since i made my own tray wit mdf it doesnt ratle..
