what sub encosure to do?
I can't decide what to do with my sub enclosure for my rsdc 10s. They will be powered by the sub section of the roadster, and complimenting the Ti 9 componants up front and rear. I had been planning on putting the subs in the spare tire well because I already have the bottom fiberglassed from the last installs amp rack, but the more I think about it I like the idea of putting them on the side. I have a cool design for the bottom where it would look stock covered and pop uncovered but for some reason the idea of putting the spare in sounds nice. That sounds funny because I am almost certian that the stock jack would not fit in back because of the side exhaust, nor fit at all once it is lowered. It is mainly weekends, nice weather and shows now anyway so I have just been keeping the AAA up to date to compensate for the loss of the jack/spare but so far in 20 yrs of driving I have only changed my own tire one time and never needed the AAA for it. desiging the sound system that I enjoy everytime I get in it around the spare amost seems silly I know until I am on the side of the road with no service right?????????
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

ah I wish it were going faster but honestly there are not alot of days were I either am just too tired or do not feel well. Gives me alot of time to think which can be good or bad.

Re: what sub encosure to do?
seriously??? forget the spare tire, the system always comes first. Plus you say you only drive it now and then so it's not a DD anymore.
I don't have a spare tire for almost 6 years now
and i've been lucky. I just have one of those aerosol cans of whatever it is that blows up a flat....yes it ruins the tire , but at least i wouldn't be stranded. plus you have a side exhaust and your gonna drop it down so the scissor jack may not even go under, you'd have to have a buddy give the car a little lift to get it under but.... your gonna ditch it all(the spare and jack)anyway
GL whatever you decide.

screw car audio, I'd rather go fast....errr, wait a minute.
Re: what sub encosure to do?
I've fortunately never had to use one, but I go on long road trips and have terrible car luck, soooo...
Re: what sub encosure to do?
the cans work fairly well as long as it isn't a huge hole. The more I think about it, it is a no brainer as the factory jack doesn't even fit under the ground effects and I have not even lowered it yet.... There is just soo much room around the sides I can't help but want to fill it.
I did get some projectors and have HIDs on the way. Found a good deal on a set.

Re: what sub encosure to do?
you could fill the sides, keep your spare and get one of those 4wd exhaust bag jack things. the ones you slide under the car and then use your exhaust to pump up. just an idea
