Default Sub in back cargo

Has anyone put a sub in their back cargo, next to the spare? If so, which ones fit?

I was thinking about putting a sub in there with a grill on it so I wouldn't have to sacrifice any space.

They look nice, I haven't seen one with a grill to cover it, but good idea so that you don't sacrifice the space.

Yeah I saw a custom job where they cut a hole thru the cargo lid and put a grill on to protect it. I thought it looked sic.
By the way has anyone tried to put their amp under the rear seats?

I'm pretty sure the rear seats don't have room for anything under them....

not sure about the 06... but I'm almost POSITIVE the 03/04/05 has almost zero room.... probably enough for some wires and that's about it.... alot of people are mounting under the front seats though

Front seats... Now that is a good idea. I just don't want to mount it to the back of the seats.

You could always build a rack that'll hide the wiring

Sounds good, but when I put the seats down it would be harder to stuff in. That and I wouldn't want to break it loading something heavy into the car.

Not that I carry anything in the car. It's just that this is my first new car and I'm going to baby the hell out of Revan(my car's name).

My amp is mounted under my passenger seat. I also thought about the amps under the rear seat or even mounted to the bottom part where your legs are.

I just built a fiberglass box that fits one 12" sub and goes in the rear cargo area and the stock covers still fit. I'll post pics tonight. If theres enough interest i may build more.

My dealer has a box that has the subs up where the rear windows are on the side, sweet install, I think Audioformz did a custom install for it.

amp can be mounted in the front seats you got alot of space in the passenger side . for the driver side you find the jack if you take it out and relocated in the back with your spare tire it work.but you will have to modifide the braket or the jack. what i
did was to bent together both end and put the amp over the brakect.
and another thin since i dont like driling holes on my box i used velcro.
and it has work for for almost a year.
