Huh? :confused: What exact info are you looking for? :confused: I have replaced all of my speakers including the tweeters and sub. This week I am going to add a mono amp to drive my sub. There are plenty of photos of my install all over this site, including a how to. There are also shots of SoCalHHRs set up and Navyflyer11s setup on this. Use the search and you can find lots of photos. ;)

I would take some pics of my 12 in the spare tire compartment but it is by no means pretty.

You should take pics anyways. :) I would be interested in seeing it even though it may not be the prettiest install. ;)

That doesn't look too bad. :) Carpet the box and clean up the wiring then you'll be all good. :beer:

If you don't mind losing the spare...that location is perfect for a 'glass job ;)

yo SoCal it looks like a sealed box... there is no port..

I asked where the sound comes out because I don't see a speaker! :eek:

If there's no port, the speker should be visible...somewhere! :D

Its a sealed downfire box I built for my van but I cut it in half.Its to big to fit all the way down so its kinda wedged to where I have like 3" of room between the speaker and the floor..

It seems like the Box takes up a lot of space? Not to sound rude, but do you keep your chair either in the back seat or the rear of the car. Just curious

I always have the rear seats down so if I ride by myself I just throw the chair in the back seat and if someone rides they put it in the hatch..The box is under the shelf in the spare tire compartment so it doesn't take up any room in the actual cargo area..

STG what size sub is that agin? I was thinkin of doing one 12 or two 10s in a little box that can be velcroed to the shelf and can have some wire slack under the shelf so if you raise the shelf you will still beable to use that room. What do you think of this idea, and which sub combo sounds better?

Its a 12..I'm not sure if the shelf is strong enough to support a box..
