my old install. The whole boot was done in mdf and then carpeted, with 6x9's in the walls at the sides. sounded ok, but there was definitely not enough volume for the sub. it also rules out putting any luggage in the boot.
looked kinda cool tho.

Pardon my ignorance but does anyone know the ballpark Cubic feet measure of the Spare tire well of a Mk4 GTI?

I am a newby to all of this but I am willing to learn, I have a Near new condition Kicker Comp Vr that requires top-mount depth 5"
 sealed box volume 0.8-3.0 cubic feet

Curious as if this could be done on one of these cars?
I have been reading and I am thinking about Trying to fiberglass the enclosure....

Any help or additional knowledge on this would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks.

If you look at page 2 of this thread you'll see I did some rough calcs as to the volume of a Mk2 spare wheel well.

However, all of these measurements were guesstimates. If you want to take some dims of your spare wheel well I'll be more than happy to calculate the exact volume for you.

However, if you just want confirmation that your spare wheel well is somewhere between 0.8 and 3 cubic feet I can say catagorically Yes to that question.
