8" Subwoofer box WITH spare tire

JerryK · 04-26-2009, 12:43 PM

SoCal-- I considered using the spare threaded hold-down to fasten the box, but then I'd have to unscrew the subwoofer to get to the hold-down to remove the spare tire. I plan on hooking the box to the rear sheet metal so it doesn't come flying in an accident.

JL has other 8" subs (as do others) if you can't get the cubic space you need for a flat 10 or 12" version. I believe the flats require more power, also.

Depending on your outer housing circumference, could you spin the entire assembly with the clamp being embedded at the bottom of your housing. Just a suggestion as I don't want you doing something I suggest and then it turns out like crap, and you end up hating my suggestion.

You could spin it, as long as you could disconnect the wiring.

On the Bose system they have disconnect so that you can remove the assembly when accessing the spare. The clamp bolt goes straight the center on the Bose so you unscrew it as you would the one with just a spare.

How's this project going?

kannibul · 12-04-2009, 04:13 PM

How are you keeping the spare bolted in - else, won't it rattle/slide around?
