Sorry for all the questions but I am interested in a setup like that but like someone else said, it is kinda permanent.
I already had Tone's rear popper; and it still works great. (I have it wired up to the remote like Raque Thomas.) There is no vibration, just great sound. The only draw back I can see, is that if you ever need to use the spare you have to remove the mounting bracket -- not hard but it might take an extra minute or so.
