Placement, only option really, good one?

Okay, Elderado told me that in my car, i have a gas tank between the trunk and the back seat. I actually think that the tank wall is my trunk wall.

Anyways, Odds are good that I cant get wire back through any cracks there.. So, where do I put it?

So, I was thinking maybe right behind the drivers seat in a nice sealed box with some plexy glass over the top so it doesnt get stepped on. Either that *not behind the passenger seat becaues its always moved* or I can stick it in the rear deck.

Like, I could be able to drop it inbetween the two rear speakers? But I would need to check the space between the deck and the gas tank. Als find out if it would support a 10 or 12 inch. I dont even think I could get a 12'' behind myseat. Guess we will find out tomorrow wont we.

Just, ideas please. I understand if I dont get any replies till I get some pics up.

But looking more at my car, and with some pics, this is what I come up with

About 47''



Another angle of the 47''



The Med Kit that I told Elderado I didnt have, and still thought I didnt untill I took these shots



Arm rest that I thought I could pull out and cut a hole, but then I thought of the tank, so its a useless pic



From the top of the seats to the window 13''



The med kit box underside



top is the med kit box, white is the back of the seat, and the black is the tank, and the fabric is the gas tank



Shows my armorall and shows you where the med kit box (through the window) is compared to the gas tank



Same as the one above, just different angle

Conclustion:

I do what I planned on before. I put the sub in the back, the only different think I want to do, is take out the med kit box, and get a rear deck cover for the hole that would show. That way there is a vent from the trunk to the cab.

What do you all think?

OK, I figured it was an early 90's benz. When I did the last one I was able to get wiring through the back seat area by removing the rear seat back and went through high on that metal wall. The rear seat must be removed to access this. Your plan sounds fine, just far more complicated than it needs to be.

Agg, man thats horrible, lol. Although, I figured it would have to be.

im looking for a blend, and talking about subs on aim, and he is telling me that one 8'' where the med kit went would blend nicely, what do you think of that?

If you do a sub in the trunk, then dont do the single 8, just remove the med kit and the cover and make a new cover with grill cloth. That way the trunk is not sealed from the cab and it should help with output

Yeah, I plan on gettin a rear deck cover. And he is talking about bolting the sub in the deck, not in the trunk

So.. I am now thinking of a 8'' in the deck between the back two speakers? Thoughts?
