heres an install i did:
http://www.canadiancaraudio.com/cgi/...=010934#000000

i kept the spare (sry no real good pics of this), the box is in the spare tires rim. the box is small(duh)_but for a daily driver it does good. its made out of fiberglass, and i think theres a few pix of the box out of the spare, all you do is just pull the box out(really easy) and then unscrew the factory spare and you set for those rainy day blow outs...

I don't want to sound like your Granny, but the spare tire is designed as part of the rear crash structure on a vehicle. Not sure how that would be altered by removing it, but it would. If you don't plan on getting rear ended or a flat, then it is no worry.

excellent work! even though I'm not a big fan of over integrated installs, the level of craftsmanship and skill are obvious.
