Space Saver/Trunk Sub

[JDM-P5]

Has anyone found a space saver style sub/sub box for the 6/MS6 yet?
Either one similar to the MSP sub/amp rack (or the P5 version I came up with a few years ago using the same MSP brackets & mounting points..down firing)

...or the P5 version with sits in the side of the P5 trunk...like this but more contoured?

(ugh)

i want one of these two, but have yet to come across one. it could be built. right now i'm just running a small box with a ten but i'm still sick of the box floating around in the trunk. working on a solution like this actually.

i wonder how much of a demand there is for this. could it be profitable?

I guess once I get my hands on the car...I can start looking into this more.
I cannot live w/out bass. Even my Miata has a MSP sub/amp rack custom installed in the trunk...and I can still fit misc items and groceries in there lol.

I'm surprised that the GTs w/the BOSE system doesn't have a sub...wtf?

i actuyally just made a sub box fits nicely was gonna go the route like in the picture but will take hours because of fiberglass and all that takes forever made a simple one that saves space i like it ill get pics soon kinda looks like the one on ebay but a lil different

you really lose very little room because the box goes into the whole that you have aty back if trunk i also removed liner and have it go in like that looks good imo

Looks good, but I plan on doing the folding seat mod...I like the option of being able to add a few cubic ft of space by dropping them (miss the P5's folding rears).

Go for it. I'm curious to see how it works out for you...I still want one that is tucked away on the side.

Check it out:
Plans for interior is swap out the stock unit for a double din & get something like the sub enclosure shown below...

yes it does...its mounted to the bottom of the rear deck. its just a bad open air 8", but there is a thread in the howto section (authored by me) with instructions on making a pre-amp for like $10 to increase the output..

Ahhh...ok, I got it. Yeah, that's lame w/it just being an open air 8.
Checked out your how-to.

I found a seller on ebay that sells the side mount:

10's & 12's...pass or driver's side. $180...pretty good IMO.

thats pretty cool to, but it doesnt say how much air space there is for the woofer.
one would have to make sure they use a woofer that plays in very small enclosure. i'd be very surprised if it was any bigger than .8 cubic feet.

iirc, the sub in the MSP unit is pretty small...however, I'd get a shallow mount one:

thats a good price on those kicker shallow mounts. i remember when those came out. they were way more than that. and any one that heard said good things about em.

i run a comp cvr right now and like it alot. so those might be what i work with.

Word...I'm gonna go that route I guess.

heres a pic of the one i made two 10 inch subs retains most of the trunk a bit is lost but very little plus was easy to make compared to the fiberglass ones

that is if your planning on making it not buying

I'm definitely going for a shallow mount install.
That's too much space. I told the wife I was getting a car w/a trunk lol.
