    If you're interested in creating custom sub enclosures . . . I'd be interested in one for the back door using the Pioneer TS-SW124D.

    Those pioneer subs are pretty cool for very shallow enclosures, but I'm not sure you'd really need them for the rear door of the VX. Notice that the recommended enclosure size isn't much smaller than most 12" subs (about .8 of a cubic foot - my Orion's are sealed in 1.0 cubic foot). I don't think depth is really a big issue, even for those enclosures built inside the spare donut tire. Of course, I've never listened to them so they might sound great, but my guess is you'd be better off with a traditional full-depth sub like an Orion or a JL Audio.

    Its all about the size of the Sub Box, the sub can be tuned with different sized enclosures. You cant just make one just any size if you want the best out of your sub.

    depending on what sort of sound you are after a 6 or 8 inch in the right enclosure can sound really good too.

    I have a good mate who does all this stuff for a living and I could help you with the size of an enclosure if you know what sub you are going to use.

    jl audio 10" wo and w3v2 are real close in enclosure size. i would suggest the w3v2 in 2 or 4 ohm which fits in a .625 cubic ft enclosure. with a mounting depth of 5.75 inches. i will do some measuring tommorrow to see how easy it would be to build. there will probably be a lot of fiberglass work involved.
    so to those that would be interested , what price sounds reasonably ? shawn

    i have done some measuring and there is not much space with the spare still in. maybe .50 cubic feet. depth is about 6 inches.not very much room for a cabinet of the proper size. and i have not heard back from eclipse .

    james, where were you going to get the eclipse sub from? maybe they have the info that i need?

    OZ VX ,could you get any info on the eclipse 10" 9102 sub? mounting depth ,cubic feet of enclosure?

    kpaske , the pioneer sub needs .80 cubic feet of space . a no go with the spare tire in.
    thanks shawn

    Hey Shawn

    It doesnt have to be an eclipse.
    Tone has a a 10 inch sub but I was thinking maybe an 8 inch might work
