thats what the back seat is for


my setup was simple. 3 tens in a sealed box that filled up the space between the humps in the back of the trunk and then my 2 amps took up the rest of the space in front, i just bolted them down.

you may want to allow for access to the spare... something to keep in mind

Hell yeah back seat, if I had that in my trunk, it would stay like that, and I'd have a full ass back seat. I had problems putting stuff in when I had my dual bandpass in, let alone my 2 exposed 12's now. If I had that in the trunk, there'd be nothing but that in there

they are air compressor tanks for his air ride. The bigger the tanks, the more you can play with them w/o having to wait for the tanks to re-fill themselves.

SuXor, you make me jelious. Ive wanted airride my whole life and I envy you. I wish it wasnt so damn expensive for it.

You ever think about selling the setup to a former A-CL member @ a discount price?? (For airride, I might have to decide not to buy another motorcycle when i sell mine and use that $$ towards a air system....its soo tempting.)

You could take out the carpeting in the back and lay it down on the floor to get your interior dimensions. You'll have to get rid of your spare tire and If you have the time you can paper machete the spare tire well to get those dimensions. But if your not much of a perfectionist you can just use a measuring tape and rough fit the enclosure that you decide to make. But I find taking the carpet out and putting it on the garage floor the easiest way, plus it gives you the contour of the trunk walls.

Good Luck
