Yes, you can just remove it. But you would have to install the mount for the spare ,it has to be removed for this box to fit. If you are concerned about the spare I make a fiberglass box that fits in the spare tire.It will fit a jlaudio 8w3v2 sub. The cost is $325 plus shipping. Not as loud but adds some bass. If you order a fiberglass box before xmas I will include free shipping. shawnOriginally Posted by cyronman
