Track days first. Sound 2nd. OEM audio plus is a great do it yourself solution. Doesn't go in the spare tire well though. Spare tire to me is too valuable to not have as last think I want is to wait hours for a tow truck or let alone pay for one.
Oh and Sound Choice is pretty good. http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-sound-choice-portland

I got a quote for a similar setup to yours for $520 and a horizontal spare tire enclosure was $680. I would probably buy one like yours if I could get it for $400.

Integrity Concepts!
I love my enclosure. Working on buying a second one. Website: http://www.integrityconcepts.net/ EDIT: Also, I got rear ended really hard, took out the trunk, the rear bumper and my Perrin 3" exhaust all the way to the OP. Including the crashbeam. Sub box took it like a champ though. I swear it asorbed energy and saved on repair costs.

I agree with ilpad, the JL Audio box is what I have in my car... fits a nice 10", really need more you should get a custom one made for the other side, that way you can keep your spare...

I've been looking at getting this box but for the life of me I can't tell how one would mount it. How did you, also by that pic I don't see your amp, where did you put that? |

My amp is under the drivers seat where it can have cool air blowing past it.

This is a close up of the mounting tab under the stiff portion of the weatherstrip. Simple and virtually unnoticeable, but very functional, not to mention track day approved as it requires no tools and takes 10 seconds to remove the enclosure! When the trunk is closed it locks the snugly fit enclosure in place. We also include a small (optional) back to back 3M Dual Lock strip to mate the carpeted surfaces on the bottom of the enclosure, for added friction during extreme cornering (or if you decide you want to keep it in on track days).

Any shop people might trust a little more South, as in Eugene?
