Hello all, been gone a while but hoping to get some help.
I have a 2024 Tesla Model Y and am trying to decide between putting a single 10" sub behind the rear seat or building an enclosure for what would be the spare tire well but is actually just a storage area under the trunk floor board.
I would prefer to use the spare tire well but have never gone this route. The factory sub is mounted in the rear fender well and it does fine but I NEED more. From what I can tell only an 8" would comfortably fit in the rear fender well but I want a 10" or maybe 12".
At this time I only want to add a sub and don't want to replace the other speakers. I will be disconnecting the factory sub.
After much research I should be able to add a solid 500-600 watt D class amp. I already have the integration unit.
Anyone have experience in the Tesla Y realm or able to help me decide between a spare tire mounted sub or a behind the seat sub?
Either way I would have a out one cubic foot to play with.
The spare tire route would also mean having the factory floor board over the sub but I could cut it and install heavy duty metal mesh to let air through.
I have plenty of install experience and can build the right side box and port it properly.
