I'll check on the foam behind the back seat, didn't realize anything could be taken out. Did think about the spare tire, only thing is, getting the spare tire back in... with a few extra hands I think it's manageable though. Well if you are free this weekend I'll be down there. I believe the only thing left I need to purchase would be an amp kit.

The entrance from the trunk and rear seat are probably about 1 inch too short. leaving about 3 inches of the highest part of the box sticking out. I was thinking about just leaving it in the middle and just not even utilize the rear seats, but I'd like it to look clean at least.
Just for kicks here are the pics from my Blaupunkt. It's what yours could look like when/if it gets in.





















Ignore the temporary velcro cage I built. It sticks to the carpet keeping it in place until I decide how I want to permanently mount it (still with quick release).

Just me but have you thought of a smaller box?

Speakers are put in boxes just to hold it, whatever box the speaker comes in is not permanent, you can even get it custom to be shaped to fit in your trunk a certain way, kinda like that speaker that fits right behind the wheel well and tail light.

Looking from your pics, you can get a box 2"-3" wide smaller and maybe another 2"-3" tall smaller.

Or make your own!

@captain_jack built me one hell of a box. It fits on the passenger side nicely. I just need to put a mounting tab on it to keep it in place while cornering.

Yes a smaller box would work. The one I pictured was a unit with the sub and enclosure sold as one piece from JL. I've got a good idea now of the direction I plan on going though.

Not a brz/fr-s sighting, but I saw this as I was coming home (this was at the intersection of 44th st & McDowell), holy hell!

You can't see the rear end from this photo b/c of the cruiser blocking the view, but it looked like a Porsche. Couldn't safely get a good look as I passed by.

Slightly off topic, but this being one of the best local car forums I've found...
Anyone know a decent Kia dealer that won't screw my daughter over on service?
