Hi, I'm still kind of new to this site so I'm not sure if a question like this has been posted before, but I was wondering if it is possible to mount two tens in the little compartment under the mat in the trunk. The one thats right above the spare tire. See I'm not sure and I don't want to be messing with the tire chain if it isn't.

I've tried searching for photos to see if someone else has done it, but came up with nothing. If you do have photos of this, could you please post it? It would help alot. I'd really appreciate the help.

I was actually planning on cutting into it for the subs, I'm just not sure if that would interfere with anything.

i would say its only a good idea if you dont have a spare underneath, but in that case i would remove that whole compartment.

my amp barely fits in there i cant imagine a sub.

Pioneer makes some shallow mount subs but they sound pretty terrible. I say build a small box like I did that's easy to take out when you need the extra space.



With 10's you can build a box that's compact and utilizes the proper air space the subs are designed for so it can be perfectly tuned. I've built 5 speaker enclosures in the past few years and I've come to the conclusion that a smaller specked out box will yield a 1000X more accurate response. It will sound cleaner and hit harder. If your box is too big you start to lose part of your response and it gets muddy really quick. When you try to get flashy you always end up sacrificing quality over aesthetics, but I'm a sound junkie that likes to keep my gear straight incognito.

Good luck bro!
