New JL W5 installed today!

There is someone on here who did make such an enclosure. It only had .33cu ft of air space which made it only suitable for an 8" sub.

I thinks its a huge compromise between an 8" and 13" sub. 8's dont move that much air and power handling is very limited. Granted a good JL 8" sub will be a huge improvement over the factory sub.

I am with ya on the compromise, I just don't want to be without my spare, I have to go out of town on business occasionally. Zenclosures is going to design one, I believe, that fits in the the spare itself. With the right 8" it should be a lot better than the Bose for sure.

Hey, I'm interested in that option. I was just in an audio shop and listened to several subs and was very impressed with the sound of the 8" Polk MM651. Who is making the enclosure for an 8" sub over the spare?
Thx

Supposedly Zenclosures is looking into it. I would like to see one with options for an 8 or a 10.

Thx John, I just found the other posting that mentioned them.
In case someone else comes on here and is also interested, here is a link to the web site: Custom Sub Enclosure | Affordable Sub Box
... and here is the blog that mentioned the deal: ZEnclosures - 370z
I hope that helps someone in the future, Dennis

Thanks. I am waiting as well for them, or someone else to come out with an enclosure for the spare tire. It's probably just a matter of time.
