Any special reason Navin for the spare wheel install or just to save some boot space. Is the sealed box install of the RF sub going to give me more punch than the spare wheel install; what do you think?

A spare wheel sub might not be sealed but if well damped can sound pretty good. Yes the real advnatage is saving boot space the disadvantage is that it cannot be removed without exposing your spare wheel and if you ever need your spare wheel be prepared to lift a rather heavy board. So heavy that is a car like the Skoda it is darn near impossible for small people like me.

I lifted Viper's board and it was plenty heavy for me under the conditions that I would lifitng the spare with the other hand and looking for a the jack etc...

navin, as we can see jk in his avatar and i believe he is quiet nicely built (!!!!!!!!!!); why don't you ask him to lift the board of your octy whenever you feel there is a need and then we will enjoy the whole story from you.....................

BTW; where is our long haired funny guy????

jkdas · 7th July 2006, 05:53

hehe, so I should keep that avatar. NOw, where's teh long funny haired guy?

SWWS thingy will help you retain boot space. And you are not gonna lift the thing daily. Hope you saw the installation pix of the same.

I have had the poor misfortune of being chauffered most days and on the 3 occasions I had a flat I was NOT being chauffered and on 2 of these occasions it was raining.

BTW The flat was not in the same car. One was in a Zen near Mela at Worli, one was in my Contessa near Nanavati at Ville Parle (both in rains) and the last was in my Astra on a dry day at Mahim near Bombay Scottish School.

After that i make sure that my spare is easily available.

Wow! the great old man sure does carry his own gym around! come rain or whatever!

And, on a second thought, teh SWWS should weigh 10kg + as we ahev that 1inch thick mdf, a 12inch sub, damping and an amp on top!
