Ok, heres the deal. I have 2 10" Subs in sepret boxes. and a amp that is 21" x 11" and I dont have anywhere to put them. I was going to mount them to the area in the back what covers the spare tire. but it is missing out of my car. I was going to cut one out of thin coraplast or fiber board but I dont know the dimentions.. Can anyone help me out with these 2 issues.. thanks J

PS: sorry about the spelling im in a hurry

oh... well i have a CRX with 2x12's in the very far back... no spare tire. And I put the amp behind the two seats in themiddle, it was a rather large amp like yours. I just bolted it onto where the seat would go if i had the CRX rear seats. It worked out fine. I dunno much about the size of the hatch interior though.

Why don't you get a box for both subs to go in and just set it at the back of the hatch and put the amp either in the spare tire well, or on the back of the box. As far as cutting out a piece to go in the back to cover the spare well, make a cardboard template to fit in there and then trace it onto wood or what ever your going to use. i wouldn't use a fiber board though cause if it gets wet and stuff it'll start to fall apart.

im not too familiar with subs but i know the sealed boxes have good/clear sound compared to ported or bandpass, and that bandpass's are louder. dont quote me though, im not really sure.

Build your own... fairly easy if you dont mind the stench of fiberglass: http://www.carstereo.com/help/
There are other links to basic glassing in the forums.

Do Hatches have seats in the back?

If it's like a CRX just make you a box. Take you about a weekend to finish it up with very little shop skills and hand saw. Might take you a day if you have some back ground and good power tools.

that is my old setup... i have since upgraded to a complete MTX setup, but the layout has not changed much... I had the same thing in my civic only the am was mounted to the box and had quick disconnection for the power cable and Remote wire to get access to the spare tire. ... i'll see if I can find some pics... that was a while ago though...

well the setup is pretty self explanatory... and go ahead if you want to use it.

The speakerbox is a 6x9 Long Box that I was given, with rockford 6x9" in it.

the Box is similar to a Pre made vented box, and with a 10" sub it would be smaller and would give you room to mount the amp on the box if you like.

My main thing is ... on the 2 small ones.. I had the idea to do that. but can your hear them over the subs... im just kind of worried about that
