Gotchya. Well, I climbed into the trunk (surprisingly comfy and roomy) to take some measurements and to my horror, I can't find an appropriate place to actually MOUNT a box. Theres a carpet which pulls up to reveal a full sized spare which takes up mostly that entire part of the floor...so thats a no go. I also thought about maybe dual 8s and drilling the boxes into the deck, but since I have a whopping 3.5" thick x 19" thick area to mount them, I don't think that'd work either. Can't caddy corner it because the trunk latches have to come down when the trunk closes and the spare tire well cuts into them still...plus I don't want to block the carpet...I tried to find a good place to mount it to a bulkhead or something overhead but there's not really much.

The only acceptable place is back behind the left wheelwell. Theres an empty space off to the side with a reasonably flat floor to it (haven't loked underneath to see what I'd be drilling into, but I don't think anything serious) and its out of the way enough where I could either cut the carpet back, mount the box to a bulkhead, or just not worry since you could just fold the carpet over it to get to the spare. Only problem is its a horribly irregular shape, so making a box for it is next to impossible. (about 17 inches high by 14 inches wide. It varies to as small as 1 tall and 9 wide in places, but for all intensive purposes starts out 17x14 and then gets smaller on all sides except the base. I'm assumming such a complicated box custom made would be pretty damn expensive, also...And anything cheezy I made myself would look like dogshit, not to mention leave me with having the mount the amp right out on the wheelwell itself which would stick out something nasty.

Goddamn old peoples' car.

I did go to Best Buy and saw that Infiniti Basslink thing, and it looks like it MIGHT fit in that corner, but I'm not sure. It doesn't look horrible but I think a box would blend nicer.

 

just run a slat of wood across the trunk under the carpet in the very rear to support the enclosure - the spare will still be removable. problem solved.

You have to do the same thing in civics because theres only cardboard back there to hold the box up.

else, fiberglass ftw.
