    I've had mine for nearly 2 years with no problems. His looks smaller & possibly even lighter than mine, and my hinges have suffered no ill effects. No bad vibes at all from mine, only tight bass. My sub was too big to mount flush so it sits out a couple of inches or so in the front. There is about 4 1/2 inches behind WITH the spare. Mine has about 1/8 inch gap between the rear of the sub and the mounting bolt of the spare. You'd get about another inch without the spare. Hard to find a sub narrow enough to mount flush. There is no way I'd drive without a spare My sub sticks out too far to use the OEM cover, so used NAWGAHIDE to give everything a more finished look.

    That's right, so everything is amplified not just the subwoofer. Of course you could use separate amps, or just one for the sw and leave the rest alone. But a little more power makes the stock speakers sound MUCH better -- well worth it.

    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.

    Price

    If enough want one I think I can get the price down to $400 including shipping. That is a very good deal which includes the subwoofer, custom sealed fiberglass enclosure, and custom mounting bracket. All you have to do is cut the hole and connect to the amp of your choice, and you are ready to ROCK!
    Check with your local audio shops on price, if anyone can get them cheaper let me know. I paid $1,000 for mine (which included the amp and wiring harness). It took them all day just to make the custom fiberglass enclosure. If anyone is interested send me an email at: ArlinS@sisna.com

    What Sub is included? I saw that it's a JL but what model? Just wondering cause the smallest depth JL sub I found was 5.375 inches. Can you order the enclosure and bracket without the sub? I'd get shot if I put anything other than Fosgates in there.

    Make your own?

    I'd love to, but thats easier said than done...

    Some of us might not have access to a shop and/or some of the tools necessary. Any ideas?

    Is that a joke? That setup and custom cover doesn't look very cheap. The other one is kinda nice because you still have your tire if you ever REALLY need it.
