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.

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?

Box looks good so far. As others mentioned, I'd hope that the lip for the sub will be recessed a bit to make up for excursion. Also what's the approximate cubic feet of airspace. I would want to put something like an eD 13Av2 in there (similar to about a JL 6v2). Finally, how about an option for recessed amps on each side?

Whats with the grooved lines other than design? This will be covered by the carpet anyhow. But it does look good can't wait for finished product and pricing.

+3. Price would be nice. This is looking like something I could purchase, but there are options out there created by some DIYers.

I think cutting the carpet revealing the sub and a also a recessed option for amp-s is a great idea, also do you think 1.25 cubic feet airspace is attainable with around a 7.75/8" mounting depth. Maybe try my JL12W6v2 in there with the HD900/5 amp on the side flush mounted....hmmmmm

mo, money, mo money.

from looking at their other products on their website, I think this is going to cost a pretty penny. plus you will have to buy shallow mounts = even more $$$

The box is .8 Cu ft, about 3.5" mounting depth. Yes you will need a shallow sub... We listened to all the requests made by 370Z owners... General request was a hidden enclosure that uses the spare tire well. We have enough room in there so if you have a grille on the sub there will be plenty of room for excursion.

If someone wanted to install a sub like the 12w6 it would have to be inverted.

If you wanted to make an amp rack on the sides there are plenty of room, This can easily turn into a custom trunk, but that woulkd take away from the hidden, stealth design of this enclosure.. But I won;t stop anyone from doing it.

If one was to pit the amps on side I would k keep them seperate so that the box would still be removable for easy access to the spare.

I don't want to talk about price, I am working on becoming a forum sponsor, I will be happy to talk about it after.

Potential of this enclosure is big, you can go totaly stealth and no one will know you have a sub... BTW there is plenty of room under the strut bar hallow space where the foam piece is for amplifiers, special a small amplifier design like the JL New XD series or ARC Audio.

Or you can go totaly custom and invert the sub with some counter sunk amps on each side...
