As I am constantly updating my sound system in my bellowed Karoq , I decided to install semi-custom made subwoofer in the spare wheel.

My current small Kenwood underseat sub will migrate to my wife's Tucson. And the new one is based not on my favourite Focal component but Audison Prima APS10D. Got the box from Ebay. Speaker need 10-12 , the box is 15.  Put STP sound deadening and damper mats inside.

3Dprinting mount right now. Will add photos and .stl files  later. Power palnt will be GZTA 2.500TX.

 

ready one

 

 

side view

 

box made of MDF

 

Speaker

 

two coils , 4Ohm each, parallel will be 2Ohm , 400W RMS

 

Vents are on the side , plus sub is VERY shallow , mounting depth is on 88mm

 

Grill and all mounting accessories came with speaker

 

 

Testing fitment 

 

Dampening material

 

Mounting pod prototype

 

 

 

AMP

 

Instead of standard plastic bolt  which holding spare wheel , I printed new one. Shorter , and fixed one. Designed in Fusion 360. Printed with shock proof plastic

 

 

And here is mount to the subwoofer.

 

Then completed sound deadening exercise under the spare wheel, printed 4 spacers to keep subwoofer tight to wheel on side and installed it

 

AMP installed on the back pf the left seat with bolts and threaded rivets.

 

 

At the end cut round hole in the cover , and printed one more heavy duty grill 
 

 

Now need to run power for the AMP and RCAs to DSP

 

That looks superbly done. Top notch!

Could You print and ship a longer one (I’ll pay You for it? Starting from OEM consider 1cm longer (or even 2), so I can screw the cover! I’d say I’ll buy 2 of which one is 1cm longer and other 2cm). i mean long 19 and 20cm instead of 18 as the standard one

Let me know!
