Default Clean 12" Sub installs?

Its WAY to late to search right now so can someone post threads/pics of a clean 12" sub enclosure? I've got a 12" JL w3 just sitting around the house doing nothing that needs to be utilized. I'd like to keep it simple and clean and still allow access to the spare if needed.

Thanks

I have two of the same JL w3s (12s) sitting in my garage waiting to be sold/utilized. In for answer. I would probably only use one in the Z. I would like to be able to haul more than a few toothpicks.

Sorry, but it's way too late for me to post any clean 12" sub enclosures...

a false floor would be your best bet then. mount the sub where the spare tire goes. i have the under strut bar box and my hauling is greatly reduced to just a few grocery bags.

Not if its free (already have the sub), and a very high quality. You can always turn the gain down. I do see your point though. I would buy a 10 if I were to buy for the Z.

I'm totally being sarcastic.

I say why do one 12" sub when you can do two?
