Yeah, your post sparked me to try this myself because the local shops were going to be WAY too expensive with a custom fabricated one. I'm going to build a 2nd at some point (not anytime soon), and hopefully can build a better one.

That looks like a lot of work! I think it would be better to make a mold inside the spare tire and fiberglass it and then bond the baffle to it. You will gain substantially more air space than the method you are using. With a fiberglass enclosure there you would have enough depth to use a conventional 8" sub which will out perform a flat 10.
