Post Relocate CD Changer, replace with sub?

Any recommendations? Anyone else done this? What have you done, made a small wooden box that will fit it, and then use some cardboard that is covered with the right carpet to look stock?

Anyone been able to fit a 12? Or only 10s?

Any recommendations on subs, on where to locate the amp, and where to relocate the CD changer? Can the changer be put on its side?

Thanks guys, you kick *** as usual.

you can always get a stealth box which everyone else usually do. Peronally, I would rather have one custom made...cheaper

You can see how I dealt with your questions at www.sounddomain.com/id/whiterascal

You CAN fit a 12" sub in a Stealthbox type enclosure. You just have to have a custom enclosure made. The Stealthbox type enclosures on the market are only made for 10" subs.

You CANNOT place the factory changer on it's side. It's suspension is not adjustable like an after-market changer's is. In order to side mount the factory changer you would have to swap yours for one out of a truck (or similar) with a side mounted suspension in it.
