    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.

    it's raining again so i will not be able to finish the install. i did take pics of what is done so far.the front will be different.it will look like the front of the box i built for james.also there is enough room on top to mount an amp which i will be doing when it stops raining.


    the front will look more like this.it will fill in the empty space on the sides and bottom.

    the old style 12w6 fits no problem. i had to modify to make the 12w3 fit.

    some of you may be wondering why i did not build it to cover the hole and then tell you it will look like the other if i build you one.it was easier to build that way and be able to modify it without the extra board in the way.as far as the price goes i will give you a few options $150 just mdf no carpet. $200 carpeted. also if you want the outside coated in fiberglass resin add $40. these prices are without shipping. you pay whatever shipping costs are.

    What is that board mounted to and how? I am a little skeptical. My system pushes a LOT of power to the rear sub and even after insulating the tailgate with Dynamat and spray insulation, I feel I am walking a fine line between vibration noise and purity. It may be that I will have to try something out on my own before spending $200 on something that may not work for me.

    C'mon spring.... hurry up. Daddy has a lot of work to do.
