    Does this totally replace the spare tire or does it fit inside the cavity?

    Day 5 now Shawn. This is unacceptable. If you do not show pics soon.... I will be forced to.... wait longer.

    No hurry, I am more broke than one of Sammy Sosa's foam filled bats and lazier than Rosanne Barr at a fitness club.

    awesome! if you had posted 2 weeks earlier i wouldve been all over it! but i decided building something into the door was not something i wanted to tackle on my own so i ended up building a box that fit across the rear cargo space

    etlsport, When you get sick of that box taking up the space in the back let me know.

    Wormgod, No problem. shawn

    Wormgod, fedex will pick up your package Tuesday.

    I have sold 2 total. That means there are only 2 orders left at the discount price. Then they will be $200 . shawn

    i'm not a big audio nut, but this looks good/compact.
    and 1 thing i have noticed in the vx is that a nice sound system definitely enhances, though not extremely important in my book.
    however, if you still don't have any bites on the last two next month or so, i might be into trying one.

    if i had to lug a spare though on a long drive, how difficult would it be to swap?
    just simply unplug and take the box out right?

    thanks,
    cy

    Hey Cyronman,

    I just ordered my custom PsychoBox (TM) from Shawn, knowing that I'll lose the spare tire storage. The thing is, for long road trips I'll STILL want good audio more than the safety of a spare! I told Shawn I'd either invest in a solid AAA membership in case of a flat, or else throw a Yakima Load Warrior on top and carry a full-size spare!

    I'll add this: In my last VX (the late, lamented Ironman...RIP!), all I did was add a 6" sub (yes, a tiny sub) into a custom-fabbed enclosure for the jack cubby! Even the 6" sub, separately amped from the stock head unit, improved the sound about a million percent.

    This time, adding a 10" sub in a MUCH better enclosure, and then upgrading to an Eclipse head unit...well, I'll probably never leave the VX. Except to pee.

    Maybe not even then.

    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. shawn
