Default Subs in cargo

So for those of us who run subs in the back, how do you guys have them set up to save space? i have a box with 2 10's and i have to take it out all the time bc it takes up half the cargo area. Lets see some of those custom set ups!

i had a big box with 2 10's and yea, it took alot of room. so i upgraded/downgraded (depends on how you look at it) to a single 12" sub in a truck cap box which is surprisingly small and slim fit

same here. theres a bunch of threads on this. alot of guys utilize the pocket on the right side and run a 10" in it. others made exactly what u did in the pic. mine are bolted down with quick removing wing nuts. just undo a few leads twist the wing nuts and outski. less then 3 mins but most use that area too much to do so

here is a video i took when I was camping and drunk of my sub thumping some Aphex twin. The flip video camera could not take the bass though so it cuts out quite a bit


BTW...check engine light on the dash is showing because i had the key in the on position rather than the accessory since I was drunk and forgot I had an accessory position......

i currently do the same thing but i feel like i want the subs in and still have room. i havent had my subs in for months bc i regularly use the cargo area and m tired of put sub in and take sub out.

Take your spare out and put it on your roof or tailgate with a wongler tire mount, and there you go added room and no left side sag to boot!

i just threw this into my ZJ this week. nothing crazy, i wasn't looking to shake the already rattling plastics off the car. i cut the back out of the plastics to fit the sub and i use the tub as the enclosure. this was more of an experiment than anything else, i will probably pull if off and again now that i know it isn't going to shake to pieces and re-wrap the MDF with something that matches a little better. i am aware it looks like hell, i am going to try and clean it up a little next week.

i am not in high school anymore so i am not looking to wake up the neighborhood, but did want to hear the bass with the windows down and this will serve that purpose.

it is a low profile blaupunkt 12 pushed by a zapco mono amp under the back seat.
