ric01 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi all, My newly acquired 2011 mk4 estate has the ford stereo upgrade with the subwoofer in a polystyrene 'housing' in the boot where the spare wheel goes. There's no spare wheel, just a puncture repair kit. I wan to put in a mini spare wheel with jack and keep the subwoofer. Is there room or will I need to relocate the subwoofer? And if so where to? Pic below to show what i have now (not my car but the same). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ric01 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 OK no replies so I went to my friendly Ford man and tried a mini spare. It definitely won't incorporate the sub woofer so now the question is where best to re-site it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambell Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 In my Audi the subwoofer was mounted in the side moulding of the boot, is that an option? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric01 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Yes, I think it may be but no-one seems to make a housing for the Mk4 at the moment, and the side moulding as is looks to be too shallow. A local audio guy has offered to make a sound box to fit the RHS rear panel or perhaps make a fibreglass mould to house the speaker in the spare wheel itself. Think it's going to be trial and error to get the best solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambell Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Yeah mate I would suggest a custom made enclosure will be the best bet, that way it will match your needs etc. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
