system in spare well Im looking for info on putting my sub and amp in a smaller box in my spare tire well. i recently got a flat and to my dismay i found out all i had was a air compressor and some tire sealent. Is there anything directly below me that id possibly screw into aka the gas tank or some wiring/harness?
Why would you mount a system down there? There's plenty of room for a box that goes into the back of the trunk with a top mounted amp? I have a 12" deep custom box I built that fits perfectly, no need to tear into the spare area....

I happen to live in the car theft and B&E capital of canada. ive owned my car less then 6 months its been broken into twice and attempted to be stolen once. only reason my sub wasnt yanked is i have torx screws and i have 2 bags of sand sitting in my sub box. I was thinking of hiding it under my carpet in the spare tire hold. then just bolting it down then screwing the carpet and wood to the trunk. Where i work i park in some really ghetto *** areas. maybe in the dark they wont notice the small screws.

Sigma - I like your idea! If I put a big sub box in my truck, then I can't use the fold down feature of my backseats which I use quite often. It's perfect for my kayak. I thought about creating custom boxes for the little cubbys at the corners of the trunk, but the spare tire hole is much bigger. Good idea!
