Hi

Anyone fitted a false floor to their octavia estate and put a sub into the centre of the spare wheel?

I want to try it.

I've put a subwoofer into the spare wheel of my hatchback with no false floor. Flip the spare wheel upside down and a sensibly sized subwoofer should drop right in there, a bit of mdf cut to the shape of the top of the wheel to attach the subwoofer too and then a raised lip to protect it.

I will try and take some pictures and upload them for you.

Be warned though, you need a fairly powerful subwoofer imo and decent speakers to reap the benefits. I have standard speakers with a nice alpine headunit and the bass can get a bit...errr wonky and out of control because the speakers don't like it.

Theres a dude on facebook "visual ice" he actually does spare wheel well boxes

He is good too,

His do replace spares tho

You could always try something with a shallow mount sub, aslong as you get a nice sealed box formed ud be ok

Bring on the fibre glass

Or message the guy on f/b

See if he will make u a proper box that slots in the spare wheel

See if he will do a copy of the jl audio ones where the spare sits over the box

You mean like this in hatchback guise

false mdf floor

Cool

Do like that but i like my spare to much to take it out to put a sub in its place

I was thinking of building a false floor like the l&k or higher spec estates and then keeping the spare wheel as I quite like it, and putting the centre of the sub box in the centre of the spare wheel.

Im thinking of doing this myself, be good to see some more pics up
