OK need input on this boot setup I have 2 amps, 12" sub in box and a LPG tank
amp for sub is 380*270
speaker amp is 350*250

The box fits on the drivers side facing the passenger side as that's the only way it fits now the fun part do i mount the amps side by side on the passenger side or in a false floor but in saying false floor i will need to still be able to get to the spare or do I go nuts and try my hand at glassing it any ideas? and if anyone can point me towards making false walls etc in boots that would be great...

PS should I go nuts pull the spare out and use a tyre weld if i get a flat and turn the wheel well into a sub box etc?

oohhh I have just found an LPG donut thats a tank that fits where the spare is

donut tank is about $1000 more than normal tank and has less capacity, but imo so much better. you wont however get your car over the pits unless you can prove that you have another way of mounting a spare tyre.

imo for space efficiency, sub on the driver side like you said, and amps behind seats or on the other side wall

i only paid +$300 for my donut tank when the system was fitted, the installers installed a "fast nut"(?) in the boot floor so i could secure my spare with a bolt.
as a bonus i can also put all my other crap (valve saver, tools, spare globes, trailer harness) in the wheel well.

as for the spare I was going to try and mount it under the car where the fuel tank on a petrol car is as mine has no petrol tank and it has no petrol
