If i put one 12" sub in my trunk how will i be able to open the thing for the spare?

 

It depends on where you put it.. If you mount the subwoofer in a sealed box in the corner of the trunk you should be able to get to the spare fine without having to take the box out. Or if you have it mounted right behind the seat facing either way as long as its running with the seat you should have no problem lifting up the spare access cover.

 

this setup was done so you can still get to the spare tire. one of the cleanest I have see in the tsx

 

Find a good installer, and you should retain access to the spare. This convenience would also depend on what size sub and how many drivers you want in the trunk. So, several factors come into play to retain the spare access.

 

whose is that tsass? that is exactly what i want to do!

I just built the box so it did not stick out any further than the floor bend point.

Even if you just get a standard sealed box, just get one with terminals or some quick disconnect connectors. That way if you ever run into a situation where you need the spare, then just disconnect the sub.

That's what I had to do the other day. When I needed to load a bunch of stuff in the trunk. Took just a few seconds to disconnect the sub and I ended up just putting the box in the back seat. I didn't have bass again until I unloaded. But it wasn't a big deal since I was watching the tv tuner.

 

yeah but pulling a box with two twelves out of your trunk when you have to deal with fixing a flat does not add to the fun. trust me, i've had to do it already.

 

Yeah...I guess if you have 2 12's it would suck...I only have 1 12 and a box w/ 1.25 air space...so it's not so hard for me at all. I move it all the time when I gotta shove crap in the trunk.

His question was just about 1 12 and I just wanted to let him know it can be done...without him having to get some of the expensive custom installs that are shown in a lot of the pics.

Itz all good though...Jigga.

 

yeah one 12 wouldn't be a big deal to toss out. what kind of twelve you got tsx536?

 

I got a 12 JL w3v2 D2 in a sealed box.

What kind of 12z you got man..and what kind of box?
