i had a 12" spl sub in mine but i had to take the spare wheel out to get it in. its not the sub thats the problem most of the time its the enclosure. if your brave enough making an enclosure your self is the best bet. i used the have a cheap 10" sub in an enclosure which fitted perfectly on the spare wheel.

if i get chance tommorrow i will put both in the boot for you and take some piccy's. and a quick piece of advice so you dont spend half the day kicking the car if your going to get a 12" or bigger sub take the bootlid off so you can slide the sub in rather then angle it in it makes life a hell of a lot easier

I had a Kenwood 12'' in mine when I bought it (I should point out that it came out pretty much immediately!!). Just to show how it fits in there:

Not sure why it was quite such a mess!

Hello. Iv got a 10" Fi Trap in my boot, fits easily and i reckon i could have got a 12 in it, buuuut when i crank it up a bit it makes a funny echo noise. Sounds like the shell is resonating. But still pretty good for £79 and still have the spare wheel, jack, tool box etc in the boot. :D
2 pics of the sub. One of it turned facing the offside rear wheel and another pionting straight out.


PS dunno whats happening with the photos sorry!

The fitting was tidied up a bit afterwards... this was just after the sub and amp were fitted

On the curved side facing the boot lid. it wasn't fixed, just held in place with the trim piece and the boot. Did the job tho.
