Thanks I have seen a few things for boxes under there keeping the tire but im looking to put 4 8" subs and im not sure I'll have the space so I was hoping if someone trusted a sealant or anything to carry with them. I've never had a flat but it would be the day I took out my tire that I did

The club xb one is very interesting but is his jack gone? It seems impossible to put one where he did

The simplest way to gain room is simply to flip the spare the other way around- face down- and use a large washer and bolt (I use a threaded shaft, 2 washers, and wing-nut). You gain the space in the center of the tire for other stuff or the cone of a speaker/woofer.

I'm going to a full size spare tire and adding 2 more 12" woofers. Moving the amps under rear seat and still keeping storage in trunk area
