Help!!

Hi, bare with me im a noob at this..I got a single 15" Kicker L5, and I want to install it where my spare tire goes..I just would like to know where I can get it done at or is there a how to, to do it myself? Like I said im a noob, and do not know what I need to build one .. Im located in Toronto, and i've looked everywhere to see if anyone does this, but no luck, so I have come here to u pro's to ask for help..BTW reason for the sub in the spare tire, is I got a 2nd child due this July and will need the space for a stroller, and I don't want to get rid of my set up, well I actually sold my 2 12's in a box and picked up this Kicker..So any help would be greatly appreciated..thaks

Fiberglass.

Its not a very hard thing to do, rather time consuming.

If you go to an audio shop, be prepared to drop at least a grand on the labour

Can you fiberglass?? If so, strip the trunk, spray with mold release, glass the tire well, a little mdf construction with a square hole, more fiberglass, then some bondo filler, sanding, more filler, more sanding, prime, heck maybe a little more filler and sanding, more primer, paint, clear coat, and VOALA!! Sealed sub in tire well. Be sure to get the air space correct, and glass thick enough, don't forget to cover the sub. They don't play well with a stroller tire resting on them. Should sound alright.

That is indeed what I would do but I would not be dropping a 15" sub in there just because..... You really should consider a sub that is more suited to the air space available if you are going to go to this length.
