My Stealth install 2 10's

[Dxlnt1]

Just a question, a little off topic. But how do you all justify NOT having a spare tire? Although in all of years driving, I have only needed to change tires tmaybe half a dozen times on the road, but I always believed better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

Incidentally, my install was stealth also. But I like yours as well. Just leary of not having a spare.

This is the setup I originally had in mind.  Did you make your box out of fiberglass by chance?  You would happen to have any schematics you'd share would you?

Installer made box from scratch out of fiberglass. As I recall when others asked about boxes, I think he quoted $500 for box with speakers and shipped. Dont quote me but I think that was price.

Our 2011 Explorer has no spare also. They come with a mobility kit.

I assume the mobility kit is some sort of the flat repair type goo to spray into tire?

Excellent work! I need to do this.

SHOBoat, sent you a PM regarding your box dimensions.  I know this thread is old, but I'm replying anyways.

I just purchased the materials to do this myself, but I'll be utilizing a single 12" and a 3000-watt monoblock amp, with the AudioControl LC2-i.

I'll take some pictures and start a new build thread of mine.  I hope it turns out half as good as yours did!!

As for the questions regarding a spare tire ...... I pay for AAA for a reason.  I typically run staggered wheel/tire setups and spare tires are useless because the sizes are extremely off, or I'd have to carry two to make it worth while.

Good luck with the install, sorry I didn't keep the dimensions. I built the box for my subs. It just worked out to be exactly the volume I needed for the WS6's. I also tried to have the deck line up with the 2nd lip on the trunk well.

Not a problem!  I went as shallow as I felt I should go, I have another inch or so I can drop the height, if it comes to that.

My exterior dimensions ended up being 13.5x9.5x24, for an interior airspace of 12x8x22.5 (3/4" MDF), or 1.25cf.
