Hendrix-Engineering is offering a fiberglass enclosure for the spare tire well for GTO's and will make one for the G8 if theres enough interest.

Some in progress pictures. The enclosures will come with a 5 way terminal cup that will accept up to 8ga. wire. Also has a mounting flange so there will be no "plumbers strap" necessary. We are planning to supply the screws to fasten it as well. Internal volume will be close to target. (Looks like a little more right now.) Right now we are looking at a balance between performance (airspace/mounting depth) vs ease of installation. So we have not finalized the design yet.(baffle) And unfortunately the car is in the R&D shop and not in the stereo shop, so it is taking a little more time than we would like. Thanks for your patience.

Looks like a nice progression so far. Sorry I can't be the first to say I'm interested as I wont be getting the car for some time yet.

I'm curious, do you have a rough estimate on the volume? What about max sub size/depth?

Again, really nice piece, keep us posted.

Guys be advised the one above is for the GTO's. Hendrix will only make these for the G8's if there is enough response.

Would be good to know roughly what the cost would be for this too.

Definitely interested in enclosure, if it would be a minimum of 2 cubic feet. I run 2 12's.

I hate to burst in or thread hi-jack, but we are also looking into creating a similar product, again, depending on the interest in this thread.

I'm with G8H8. I was wanting to custom build an enclosure myself, but i would go ahead and buy one if it will fit 2 12's. Wouldnt need any special wiring as i would set that all up myself, just would want the shell.

This summer if I can't buy one, I will be fabbing one from fiberglass and MDF. Our spare tire well is too big not to take advantage of.
