Default Sub Woofer deal on Ebay

Look what I snagged on E-bay. A 150W Spair Tire Subwoofer unit with amp from Custom Autosound Manufacturing. Usually they are $150. I got this one for $49.00!!!

I put one in about a month ago and it sounds great. Figured it was worth a shot for the price.

Wonder if this would fit the spare in a 911?

Looks like its designed to fit inside the rim of the spare, with the spare bolt down bolt going through it to hold both down. Its too small to create much bass vs something like a Bazooka tube, but could easily be plenty for many.

Not as much bass as a bazooka but still plenty enough for me. I just checked and my level control is only set at mid point so if I really have the urge to rattle the windows. It's possible.

I doubt that. At least the older 911's have a sort of hump in the middle of the space on top of the tank that is created for placing the sparewheel. This hump will make it difficult to fit large woofers

Yes, it fits in the 928 spare tire just fine. No, it is not as strong as a bazooka, but it's more than adequate for me.
