[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5003720, member: 584344"] So, my original measurements ended up being horribly wrong because of some pegs coming out of the side panels... [Pics are underneath] So, I measured from each extrusion and it came out to be 29-3/8". My last measurement [which I'm not even sure is right] was 36". But this new width completely changes my new plan for my sub box. I'm running 2 RF P3D212's, they're gunna get 500RMS a pop, which is what they're rated for [i know, "they can have more!!!" But it was a budget build so we just got an amp that could run the subs.] They're nominal vented enclosure net volume is 1.79 ft^3. [3.58ft^3 with both]. The maximum height that I want to do is 16", and I also am re-locating the spare tire. [Pics are underneath.] I think I'm going to screw a piece of MDF to the actual plastic that lines the trunk, then putting on a top, and put on the front part with some wing-nuts or something so you can take it off and the like. This all seems excessive, so I'm just gunna ask her if she can go with out a spare. That'd be the easiest. She didn't even know what her jack looked like. She held it up as we were cleaning out her trunk and she's like, "... what's this?" At any rate, the tire was 6-1/2" tall, and I'd say 18-1/2" wide [i.E. Diameter is 18-1/2"], which means that the enclosure for the spare tire would be about 7-1/4" coming out.... as it is, I'm running out of room. If I do make the tire enclosure, the box would come in close contact, if not touching it, which would make it pointless unless I made the top come off or something. GAH! I HATE SPARE TIRES! At any rate... What do you guys think I should do? [i apologize for the pictures... It's cold inside my house and it was hot and humid outside so the lens fogged up.] The tire where I want to put the enclosure.
