Anyone interested in Group Buy for Spare Tire Sub-Box?

jikhead · 01-20-2010, 07:26 PM

I'm actually done, but would still be interested in it.

Uh oh! Could this be what we are looking for?

sig11 · 01-21-2010, 10:51 AM

The sooner the better. I've got a drive to Boston planned in late March.

Can't wait, Nazar. :P

wow! keep it up!

speedfreak28 · 02-25-2010, 03:02 PM

whats the current available mounting depth without spacer rings?

Will a JL Audio 12W1v2-4 fit in this box? It was the last one they had in a going out of business sale so I had to shlt or get off the pot... I shat. Just need to know if I need to try to sale it now or if I can keep it.

Is this thing also going to include a wooden or fiberglass area like is shown in the pics, that extends out and fills in the back area where the removable carpet is, or just be a round fiberglass piece that sits down inside the spare tire? Also, I am confused with the mention of it sitting up an inch higher than the top of the present foam and cover. This "inch higher" wouldn't seem to matter if it is a round, inside the spare only design, but if it covers the entire area, I wouldn't want it to cover up the present "hooks" that the net attaches to. I guess the finished product will answer all these questions.

so theoretically, this should work even if you leave your spare out, correct? will there be an 8" option?

I would say no. The idea is to keep the spare have a sub and lose no cargo space.

The top section that is shown in wood will be fiberglass, which is the section that is made out of foam in your cars now. And that section will be part of the enclosure. You lay your carpet over the enclosure for a total stealth look.

Edit. No longer interested in 8

Will the area where the speaker attaches be recessed a little, so the speaker surround doesn't hit the carpet with excursion? Thanks.

There would be a grille in most cases under the carpet, and yes the speaker is recessed a little but not much as we need the mounting depth as much as possible.

Your box sure looks better than the one I made myself. However, my concern would be the final cost to consumer. It looks like you guys are investing quite a lot of time in building that thing. So where do you foresee the price range to be?
