Having said that the power handling will be low as compared to sealed enclosures, since the volume of the 'spare wheel well enclosure' may be less, how is the overall response of set up? Can we quantify the result?
No It doesn't have to be a "free air type" subwoofer.

The sub in this install is running off some 170w and output is sufficient. Its not as much as a sealed enclosure. But it goes fairly low and blends well with the 4" coax front stage. If you're a bass head, this compromise is not for you. But if you just want to fill-in the lows, this works quite well.
