    1.0 cubic box (could have been 1.4) with amp rack.
    ez to remove to get to spare

    building this was a major project.
    my goal was to keep spare with jack, place amp in box, and keep the factory lid flush.

    sound is amazing. people think its a factory system:D

    frist the inside of box (notice the surport beams)

    amp in box(lid is removable) carpet comes this week along with a quick disconect harness, for a speedy removal

    bottom off box (sub fires into center of spare)

    after box is installed (had to install sound dampening stuff on lid and in spare tire area to remove the bad vibe)

    Very nice! What size is that sub? It looks large (e.g., 12, 15). Sounds factory? No way with that monster. Very cool.

    no way can a 12 or 15 fit in that area with the spare. from lid to spare is 5 1/2 (outside of box) using 1/2 mdf 4 1/2 inside.

    its a C10...bought it at Circut city when on sale (2 for $90) so i have a back up:D.

    all people see is the factory radio, no wires, amp or sub box. so they asume its a factory option(99% people have idea about the storage area).

    Dimond audio comp system in factory locations, amp see's 2ohm
    Kicker 350.4
    kicker C10 4ohm

    65w rms x 2
    135w rms x 1

    sounds good


    just need a noise gate to remove the white noise from factory head.

    just ordered a lockpick 3 today.

    working on mounting a 9" lcd dvd player for rear passagers between the seats.
    then im going to run it into factory screen
