Take a look at that... there is nothing wrong with small subs... u could do 2 6's on each side in a sealed .7cuft box... then u could get a small amp something cheap, ull only need 500-700rms... and it will have excellent sound quality

If you have 500 - 700 watts of power going to the sub or subs it is going to way overpower the rest of the system unless you redo your whole system all the way around.

nah man trust me if that 8 is back there theres rooms.. there is no way that 8 is in a ..25 net box.. theres rooms.. fiberglass it... these get low.. and 700watts as a daily SQ drive is not loud at all... atleast to me loud is over 1000watts easy.. i had 15L7 in 5.75 tuned to 28hz and 2 16kv.2s in 1.66net per drive a 900 watts.. 4 eu700 at 600rms is more then enough

Trust me I took the box out and replaced the sub. It is roughly about 12" by 16" by about 3 1/2" deep. Of course It's weird shaped and not entirely a box because it has holes molded into it for the bolts so I'm using rough figures. There is no depth to it. The factory sub is really narrow and I had to put a 5/8" spacer ring in just so I could get my sub to fit in the box. Your right, I'm undershooting a little due to the odd shape but if you calculate my rough dimentions you will come up with .3889 cubic feet. There is no way in hell you are going to fit a .7 cubic foot box in there.

I've heard if you put your key in the ACC position and put your window up and down three times you can...

I know it doesn't need to be a box. I said that meaning it's hard to get exact dimensions. If you took the amp out of that area and moved it to the spare tire area and built a custom fiberglass one wher the factory one used to be you could probably pull it off. But not using the factory box and without relocating the amp.

I just want one 8" on each side. If I can't I'll just put one on each side. I'm gonna take it apart this weekend so I can see what's behind the panel on the right side.
If anyone can think of a way to mount a sub or two in the spare tire compartment (keeping it or not keeping it) say something. I can think of many things, but I can't think of a way to keep that huge piece of plastic that sits ontop of the cover of the spare tire. I could hide it under that but itd rattle like crazy
It was soo much easier when I had a trunk :/
