Happy New Year to everyone!
Anyway I am considering a new install (the current one is functional but not much fun to look at) and I want to put my JL 12W3 sub in the spare wheel well so I have more space in the boot for amps & caps etc.
Whats the best way of lining the well to get a good solid enclosure that wont sound crap!!!
Cheers for any help - anyone know any websites that show this type of build???
Cheers

ive decided to do that. ive been thinkin about it and im gonna to make a cylinder type thing the diameter of the wheel well and the correct hight to make it the right size,(im gonna make mine out of fiberglass and mdf) , i know most 10s needs a cubic foot but i cant remember how much most 12s need. but i think itīll prob be deeper than the wheel well so ill have it sticking out of a piece of mdf on the floor and using fiberglass and prob chicken wire ill make it a volcano type shape. whats the diamenter on the wheel well??

Did you work out the proper port Adam or did you just shove a tube in? You'll find that a proper tuned port makes a BIG difference...
