moved my sub box down into the spare tyre well and it works so much better and i also turned it inside out

some dodgy pics off the webcam haha
but ya get the idea on my big shiny chrome magnet

haha - newe position had me wondering!! haha

nice one ;)

but is the sub made to be mounted like that??

interesting. ill be possibley doing thing shortly. (haha using the speare tyre area, not the inverted sub :lol: )

sound ok?

Trav

its ment to be like that if its got a big area underneath but it sounds great there at the moment. alot more bass so im gonna turn up the amp, had it down before as it sounded distored but now :badgrin: :badgrin: tis a bit different

So where is your spare tyre ? Dont you think about a bit dangerous driving without one ! :?:

my 2 cents worth :!:

And illegal!

yeh!

haha just get that foam stuff in a can. apapently works a charm

Trav

yeh spare tyre in a can

took out the spare and bought a can of that today,
seems to go better now with less weight of havin a huge mag in the boot

but, is that can a valid replacement... i think not... you NEED a spare tyre for roadworthyness purposes... the can will fix small pin holes... if u have a blowout, ur ****ed...

ive been wondering about this for ages. why cant you just mount a suspended spare under the rear? so many cars have them and they would probably all be rear wheel drive to. with the fact we aint got no diff wouldnt there be even more room to hang one under there?

doesnt seem to be. good point thou

but yes the fact of no tye being there really lightens the load!!

Trav

It's also very possible that it sounds better not because you moved the box into the tyre well, but because you inverted the sub and hence increased box volume = lower frequency handling. That box looks tiny and so the box was probably too small with the sub mounted the traditional way.

yeh i had it inverted before but in my old car, sounded crappy so never got round to trying it this way

plus my spare tyre is the stock sports rim, 16x6.5 and i got 18x8's on there so either way im gonna be booked for not having the right spare tyre ?? so y have the extra weight ?

I dont think it's illegal. Well not in Victoria, I don't know about other states.

Definitely illegal in NSW

Illegal in QLD!

Time to make another enclosure for the 18x8 that you're going to have to buy.. :roll:

So many people do this.. so many people get defected.. yet EVERYONE still does it.
I'll see if i can post up some pics of my brothers JL 15w0 in the tyre well of the Magna.. :oops:

But I got the spare tied up the side of the boot.. Brother did it with them cable tie things and 3 pieces of MDF.. But I pulled them out.. and left it suspended by the cable ties!

SuFz :evil:

umm. as killbilly said it is illegal and u will b defected.

MAGWGN...isnt that where the fuel tank is? i cant member on my wagon...

but yah...i know sumfin is there 2 stop it being dun...

yeah actually thats a good point. i never thought of that! what about sedans though? does any one have a pic from underneath their back wheels to see whats possible?

i think the acutal tyre well hangs down...so even if u chop it out...u loose the whole idea of puttin ya sub there
