Sub in a convertible

Anyone have any good ideas for where to put a sub in a convertible without giving up trunk space? I'd rather not lose the spare, either. I'm not looking for earth-shattering bass, just some nice fill, so a single 8" would be fine.

I know you said you didn't want to lose trunk space. But honestly trunk space isn't something that a lot of people look for in a convertible fbody, so even if you lose some, you're not losing much of anything in the first place. Here is what I have done with mine. I can still fit my bookbag in there for school. It's really the only way I could run the setup I wanted, in order to sound good and still be able to use my convertible top AND not screw around with the factory plastic interior.




And here you can see that the bow of the convertible top rests just behind the amp in the down position:

BlueZee28, this is my DD and grocery hauler so I really can't give up the trunk space. Your install looks nice but just wouldn't work for me.

The great weight of a sub would crush the entire car! Then you might have problems with the nuclear warheads too! The periscope might even get all mangled!

I am still able to use my spare, I have a 12in alpine Type R with a Hifonics 1600W mono block with a 3farad cap underneath the amp. The best part about the box is it takes up less than half the trunk and its very easy to take out when I don't need it.
