I installed my box with a JL Audio 10w3v3-2 pushed by the sub channel on a JL xd500/3.

After I got the gains dialed in and everything tuned, it sounds great. Nice deep, tight bass. I wouldn't want any more or less bass overall. It is perfect for me in this sized car. Matches really well with a set of amplified db6501 components.

Only problem I have is securing the box, and still allowing for removal of the spare tire.

As of right now, the box is still unsecured. If I were to use some kind of bolt, into the sidewall of the hatch, through the tie-down location, the spare would be almost impossible to remove unless I modify, the plastic sheet and the foam underneath.

I tried velcro, and it doesn't work. Luckily, the box stays pretty much in the same location and doesn't move around much.

Wicked CAS: Have you guys had any luck getting mounting hardware together yet, or a tutorial and parts list? I know you mentioned that you were still working on it.

If I could just get this box secured, without issues, I would be 100% happy with the product.

I wish I could say I had better instructions then what was posted here... There is enough info here to get it installed... As of right now, Accessing spare tiire will need modification to the Foam piece and the corrugated plastic peice. Unfortunately we haven't had a chance to get our donor Z here, Owner of the car is still traveling.

I know helidriver had posted some pictures with hardware he had used on page 4.

I just anchored it into the foam underneath the box, as the likely hood of needing the spare is pretty low for me. It doesn't quite flush-mount my nismo, but with a low-pro Rockford Fosgate R2ds2 (pretty much perfect match for the volume of the enclosure) this thing hits hard and fast. Great sound from Rap to EDM to Metal. Matched with a lair of amplified Infinity Kappas and a Clarion nx602, everything came together beautifully.
