Spare tire accessable with subs? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

iyam_lorne · 08-26-2009, 05:31 PM

First Im wondering if 2 12" mtx subs will fit in the trunk. You know that set you can buy with the 2 mtx 300 watt each subs in the sledgehammer box? anyway. If i do get that in, along with the sub and speaker amp, how easy will it be to get the spare tire out if i need? i dont want to be stranded on the road having to disassemble my entire sound system to get the spare tire out. How is the spare tire mounted in the camaro?

The answer to this will either A.) Allow me to use my current setup in my Camaro. or B) Have to get a custom side-mounted box.

I hope I can go with A.

i have a 12" sub and 2 amps right now in the trunk of my 94 grand prix and when i've gotten a flat out on the road i had to take my sub box out to get the spare. i dont want to imagine when i get the 2 12"ers in that tiny camaro trunk. at least it has a fold down back seat though. where is the spare located exactly on the camaro. my dad will be very angry if he has to bring me my spare from home to wherever im stranded because my subs wouldnt allow me to use the spare tire in the car.

Are you sure you have a spare?

Tecca · 08-27-2009, 03:33 PM

They have LT's which has a spare ire option.

You SS guys have a pump!!!

Although I do not have a spare I will see how hard it is with the ******** box this weekend.

They asked me if I wanted a full size or a donut, so you may want to call your dealer.

The spare is the compact spare, not a full size tire. If you purchase a full size tire from your dealer, it will not fit into the spare compartment, nor the trunk opening for that matter.

As for the subs, You will not be able to put subs in the trunk and have access to the spare. The huge a** access panel for the spare is on the floor and it almost takes up the entire floor for the trunk compartment. No matter where you install the subs, on the side or towards the rear seats, you will not be able to lift up the access panel.

I got 4 subs in my trunk and I can easily access the spare tire without touching any subs at all.
