I used to have that problem in my Driver, took it out and put a plank of wood across the whole so my sub didnt fall in to the hole!

Well I'm looking into getting some 13/14" deep dish alloys in the future so that will create some space, but until then I still need some room for subs.

Yeh i think you'll need a space saver wheel like stu mentioned, then maybe a new carpet if it's not a flat one, and you're definitely right about no room for subs. I was thinking about 2 subs for my car but that's not practical at all.

I know what you mean, but if the wheel's not sticking out, I can still fit 2 subs in, as I wont be needing my boot for any practical use anyways :)

are you sure that's moulded not just laying over the tyre?

was exactly the same with my 1.4, I built a false floor and bolted my amp to the underside of it. Looks good and does the job.

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

What about the spare though? You just take it out?

got a space saver. You may not have to if your goin the false floor route tho. Ir you put some wood either side of the wheel to raise the floor up to the same level you would probably get away with it. Especially if your not desperate for space in your boot and will just be filling it with an install.
