Sub enclosure needed?

I have a 01 Camaro SS Conv.

I read somewhere that a sub box is not really needed in the trunk.  The trunk acts like the box.  Could I just mount a sub to some mdf and put it, say, where the spare tire is?  I know there are some model specific boxes, but trying to save a few bucks.

Yea, that's what I figured.

I am pretty good with woodworking, it's just that it looks like it will take numerous compound cuts to fit in that small space.  However, I am not willing to give up any trunk space, so I guess I will figure it out.

There are some on ebay, but they will not fit a convertible.

Thanks!

This is a good place to find ideas:  http://www.sounddomain.com/member_pages/search_results.pl?make=Chevrolet&model=Camaro

Take a look at the enclosures here: http://www.sounddomain.com/memberpage/676394 they go to the side's, mostly unused space anyways.

So many ideas, your only limited by your will to try new things.  You could do a false floor, a enclosure that fits the entire floor of the trunk with 1/2 inch on each side.  Mount the sub facing to the real floor and make the enclosure shallow, you would hardly miss the space.

Thanks for the links.

I will attempt some of those ideas.  The spare tire is on the side not on bottom.

While I would like to try fiberglass, don't think I have enough time for another hobby.  I will do the woodworking thing.

thanks
