Look sweet man. Was there anyway that you could have fit the whole sub under the floor board? I carry a lot of stuff in the back of my Fit and I'd love to have a hidden sub.

 

you could probably make it flush like this.
but thats about it. it has very tight under there.

 

I'm curious, what size is this? I want to know the specs of the sub as I'm planning on doing the same thing (damn wife wants space for useless things like groceries)

 

that is a 10" sub.
it's a pioneer ts-sw2541d
go to this link. it will give you more info.

thanks. very informative! I will be going a little bit of a different route. When I purchased my car, they didn't have a spare tire. Just an emergency kit so I will have more room to work with as I'm thinking about putting a 12" in there.

It will be the first time I am building a fiberglass box. Any suggestions on the shopping list?

mdf board (3/4" thick)
fiberglass mat/cloth
fiberglass resin at least 1 gallon
Harderner mekp
brush(es)
masking tape
aluminium foil
fabric
BEER!!!!

 

time
&
patience

 

lol yeah but i can't buy time and patience so i can scratch those off the shopping list.

 

howbout RSX-S spare tire subwoofer?

 

I was looking at that one as well while googling. all very good write ups.

seeing as this is my first time, i didn't know what to get or what to expect. it doesn't help much either that I'm in Japan and I can't read a damn thing.

 

hey im in japan too and was thinking of doing the same thing with a solobaric so if you need any advice on making a box or have already made one i would be glad to hear about it man
hit me up anytime
sometimes it akes me a while to respond because im on my phone but its all good

 

as much as i wanted to do so, the wife argued that even though it's in the spare tire area, you can't put anything on top so it's dead space right in the middle.

unless i can put something on top of it, it's a no go for me.

 

Easy, just get a grill for it - something like this one: Dayton HDSG-12 Heavy Duty 12" Speaker Grill | Parts-Express.com

 

yeah the grill is to protect the sub, not to have stuff like my groceries (more importantly case of beer) on top of it.

 

Check out the thread about 2 below this entitled "subwoofer install"

 

I'm not sure your point . . . a steel grill like that you could stand on and jump and down, and your sub would be safe.

 

Are you serious? If this is the case, then I will be getting a sub soon.

I've always had problems in the past with subs hitting the grill, I hope this isn't a problem.
