It looks like JL Audio is working on the 370z "Stealthbox" as we speak: JL Audio Stealthbox System

This guy seems to have the right idea.
8" Subwoofer box WITH spare tire
I am actually going to try this method myself once I figure out a way to do it with a 10". The sub I currently have is a RF Punch. However, I think the cone will be too deep, so I might have to spend the cash on a shallow 10", but the idea is perfect.
I really like what member "Jowe" did. He put two 6.5" shallow subs in the spare.

If I can't get that to work this guy has the instructions to do a sub anywhere in the car:
Subwoofer Box Fiberglassing 2 - Nissan 350Z & 370Z Wiki

Looks pretty easy. But then again i'll do anything twice...
I was thinking about what "carfr3ak " said. I agree, and would like to add that maybe we can express where we would like to place a sub as well. There are pleanty of guys out there with the know how and might be able to fabricate something just for the space we suggest?...
Do you "only come out at night"? JK

The 8" inside the spare tire will work, and another guy from a shop in Atlanta did the internal volume, and I believe it was in the .6 range. A 10" will work, there are a few examples that are shallow enough to fit. I am leaning towards the Elemental Designs SQ 10:

To me, this location seems like such a no brainer. Retains the spare AND use of the trunk for those of us that need that, AND for the "add an aftermarket sub" crowd, it retains the stock look. Hopefully we see this manufactured soon.
