Here's the deal, I have 2 - 10" in a box in my trunk and they have filled up my trunk, I want to know if anyone has made a good enclosure for a 67 or close coupe that fits in the area under the rear windshield. or on the sides of the trunk where the filler boards go? preferably with room for an amp or two also. Any ideas and or pictures and blueprints would be appreciated.

You can make a custom fit box by lining the area with wax paper (taped together at the seams) and then use fiberglass as it wont stick to the wax paper. That way it will conform to complex curves...

Just one possible idea-

Wow, Darkness that is very well done. I would consider doing something like that but what if you get a flat?? Dunno why I ask, I don't think there has ever been air in my spare in 9 years of owning the car!

I gotta ask what materials you used for the sub enclosure. Like where did you get the ring the sub is attached to ? Also what is that stuff that you sprayed inside the tire ? Is that to make the sound better ? This has just been added to my to-do list but I'd like to know what to budget.

Thanks for the replies guys, I loved what jeff did, the tire looks cool, but unfortunately, I need my spare to be usable. So I'm asking, anyone else have a custom trunk with a sub or two? I think I'm going to use Jeff's plans, but I want this car customized, and I don't want to copy him, I'd like some other ideas to influence my decision, so show me what you got guys!!!

I am doing something like what Jeff did, but mine will sit inside the rim of the tire, and be a self contained unit. I am laying it up tomorrow. Should be able to post picks tomorrow night. I am using one 12" Alpine Type R sub.

I like darknesses sub in a spare.... but what's the point of carrying a spare tire at all if it's not mounted on a rim?

It tooks completely stock..which is what I'm guessing his goal was.
