Using spare tire area

There may be a thread on this, or something pertaining to it somewhere else... But I did a search and didn't find anything... For those of you who have custom boxes in your trunk that you've made, did you use anything like dynamate or anything to line your spare tire area? Thanks for anyone's input...

Are you talking about something along the lines of a fiberglass enclosure that goes into the spare tire well? If you are talking about one of those, then yes I would do that as a recommendation. If you are talking about just a sub box that sits on top of that like a normal box does, then no, I don't think you would have to. But then again I don't really know anything about dynamatting, just giving my opinion.

I'm not using the spare for mu sub, but I did cover up the whole trunk. To poor for Dynamat, and knew a guys who knew a guy and ended up with a roll of BlueSkin. Alot thiner than Dynamat, but oh well. Free is free.

I can tell you what in our '03s really needs Dynmat is the rear deck... Mine goes crazy at certain frequencies.

Mine houses a spare tire, jack, 4-way lug wrench, and a set of jumper cables. I know, how boring.

I only put dynamat on the trunk lid and the inside of the rear fenders.

Well thanks for all your help... At least I know I can fit a "little person" in there, a 10lb tank of NOS, a spare tire, a tire jack, lug wrench and jumper cables in there... To bad not all at the same time, that would make opening the trunk alot more interesting!

I mounted my Amp and cap on a board in the spare tire well. All you can see in the trunk is he sub box. I like it better then my VIII, which had the amp, cap and sub box in the trunk.
