Spare tire mounted sub woofer?

Thank you to everyone for the great links and advice on putting some real sound into my XJ. Here are two last questions:

1) Has anyone ever seen a 10" 3way woofer mounted INSIDE the rim of the spare tire? If so, was the mounting hardware custom or off the shelf?

2) Is there room under the back seat for an amp plus capaciter? How about for a CD Changer?

Thanks again!!!!!!

I have done things like that, but, it's rather like putting the strings of a guitar across your spare tire without the acoustical box that bring them to life. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

1- No, not in an XJ. From what I remember from my old XJ there isn't enough room...the bracket is directly behind the tire and no relal room on the front with the rim. Try searching for a pre-made box from Q-Logic or one of those places that makes something to fit in the concave panel on the opposite side(like this:

. Also, a woofer is not '3way.' Usually that is only seen on 5x7 or 6x9 speakers, beacuse there is a woofer, midrange, and tweeter all in one package. Being 3 seperate speakers in one is where the term 3-way or triaxial comes from. A sub box that is advertised as 3-way probably has midranges and tweeters installed along with the woofers and is probably a cheap Wal-Mart piece of shit and you shouldn't buy it. Go to

2- Yeah should be. I mounted my distribution box for power under there and a cap should fit beside it. Doesn't the jack stow under there? I don't remember but if it does you'll have to deal with that. Otherwise an amp could fit but you should measure it first, then go amp shopping second. Same for a cd changer, get the dimensions and build a cardboard mock-up if you want to be extra certain. All three would be a tight fit, you probably will have to pick on thing to be left out.

3- Good luck and post pics once you get it all figured out!

Free air subs still need two separate air spaces, like if you mounted them to the rear deck. They also work good for much smaller boxes than normal subs too. Either way the front and rear of the sub must still be isolated from each other.

Bring the music to life? In my neighborhood subwoofers are only there to make Toyota body panels rattle. That and to drown out my TV.
